Bandit Sign resistance in Richmond VA to my wholesalers are you using them? Running into problems?

Question

Here in Richmond Virginia there is a community website for the church hill neighborhood. I saw this post about residents tearing down bandit signs. What are your thoughts ? Anyone wholesaling using bandit signs on a regular basis? What kind of problems are you encountering ?

Check the Richmond city ordinances and see if they're legal:

Many cities forbid these.  Probably safe to say most cities ban these.  Hence the "bandit sign" name.  If they're illegal in an area, don't post them there.

If its a vacant house I put them on the house/yard.  If someone is living in the house or i dont want seller to know I put the signs at the end of the blocks around the house. @Ryan Harris

@Cass R. Smith code enforcement called me once last summer .. Other than that other wholesalers stole my signs

@Cass R. Smith that's what's up you found a hot spot. On my side of town my signs wouldn't last more than a week or so at the busy intersections.. Do you tell the sellers you are putting signs in the yard? I was thinking it might be a problem with sellers who still live in the area as opposed to out of state owners.

I use them BUT only at one intersection...I get a pretty decent amount of calls from the one intersection.  I've had them there for months and only get calls from motivated sellers...never had the code enforcers call me from this location.

I use them more when selling a property.  I always put a couple on the property I have under contract.  I"m always able to get buyers call me...I leave the sign until the new buyer takes it down.  Great way to add buyers to your rotation.

Exactly Antonio they got me my first two deals but after that I made the decision that they are not worth the trouble of code enforcement looking for me and people always stealing them or throwing them away too much trouble after o spend a whole night putting them out

@Ryan Harris These signs can be good at times, but most of the time they'er really bad. People just don't like it in the community, and those who call on the authority then it can get really ugly.

Personally I like them but sadly to say some cities frown upon them. I will use other method of getting leads such as my website, and running ads in the local paper. The object will be to get people over to the site, and allow your site to do all the work from there.
