Quote from @Lydia S.:
Before deciding where to put signs, be sure to research local ordinances to avoid fines or signs being taken away by the city. Can they be on medians? Can they have balloons attached to them? Can they be on sidewalks
I zoom out on a map with the location of the open house and find all primary intersections that may need a sign
If roads are multilane, having a sign further back as well as at the intersection in each direction is helpful, as it gives time for people to change lanes if they’re interested.
Slower single lane roadways might only need one or two signs at the corners.
Whether there are ordinances or not, do not block sidewalks for pedestrians, cyclists, or people with disabilities.
When I put out signs, I start at the house and work outwards. That way, when I am on my way back to the property, I can see whether the signs are indeed visible to traffic. No one wants to get lost trying to find the house.
Where can I check ordinances? I also used chat gpt to give me a recommendation on sign locations and it was really good, got 7 people to show up for a 3 hour open house!

Hey all,
This question is for any realtor, how do you know where to put your open house signs? I'm not a realtor myself, but my wife is and I'm trying to help her get more traffic to her open houses. I was wondering if there's an app or any sort of service that folks used that help them put signs in strategic locations that could draw more foot traffic.
Post: Getting ready for the section 8 inspection

Hi,
I'm an out of state investor looking to buy in Akron and Cleveland, and I'm looking for help with getting my properties ready for the move in inspection. Since I am not in the same state, what are some ways I can get my property ready for a tenant? I have access to the checklist that the housing authority provides when doing the inspection, but I don't have anyone to do an initial inspection so I can fix any issues that might come up before the inspection by the housing authority.
Any ideas on how to get around this? Would love the help!
Thanks!

I'm looking to buy two duplex properties in another state, Cleveland Ohio, and I wanted to see if this is something I would need a property manager to mange. The properties already have tenants, and one of the properties is Section 8 approved which is what I would like to do to all the units. I'm wondering if I need a property manger or a property management company to manage these long term rentals. If so, how much should I expect to pay? I've researched and saw that people have been quoting about a month's rent for management fees for a year, is this accurate? Would love some help here
