LET OTHERS PAY TO ADVERTISE FOR YOU
I see a lot of people these days spending a ton of money on Marketing. We all know it is a necessary evil. Advertise or Die.
I have realized that putting out bandit signs is truly a waste of a mobile home investors money in a big city if I want to buy a mobile home. They are effective for sales and rent to own marketing however.
Sure I have used bandit signs many, many times, I have got the big, big fines from the city as well, and I continued to put them out. That was until the 2009..
Why did I stop you wonder? Well that answer is simple. I now let every other investor putting out bandit signs do the marketing for me. When I see a bandit sign, I make sure to write down the phone #. When I get home I give them a call and let them know. “Hey this is Mobile Mike, I lead the Mobile Home Focus Group, for the Real Estate Investment Club of Houston. R.I.C.H. and I am looking for the leads you throw in the trash. I pay a referral fee and I have cash available to buy homes.
I tell them I lead the focus group so they will know I am a serious buyer and they won’t delete my phone #. Make sure you tell them something when you leave a message to grab their attention. Lie if you have to, but get them to give you a call.
In the last month alone, I have sent out 3 checks to other investors for Mobile Homes that I have purchased. I have had at least 15 worthless leads as well.
95% of all the Real Estate investors know nothing about mobile homes and throw away those leads. Make sure they have your contact info before the leads hit the trash can.
Now go and find others bandit signs, and have them do the work for you.
When you have a home to sell.

Ah, you answered my question from John Fedro's blog about bandit sign fines. Way to be creative in building a referral network. Good stuff, Mike.
