Rehabs get lots of attention in the neighborhood. Do you use signs to capitalize on this?

I watch the people slow down to check out the progress of a project and think to myself why the hell am I not taking advantage of this? 

For me, I'm more worried about getting more deals I want more projects. Some type of sign that explains this project is underway and I'm looking for more houses to buy. Anyone have any examples they can share?

Replied

@Tim G.  Might I suggest "This house available for ripping off at your convenience" ... we try to be as inconspicuous as possible while a rehab is in progress. We give business cards to nearby neighbors and ask them to call if they see anything suspicious. Even in good neighborhoods, in fact believe it or not ESPECIALLY in good neighborhoods, there are people looking to rip off those kinds of properties. And in good neighborhoods they know you will have better grades of materials. Just my experience.
