I am definitelydown for Thursday's. Manuels tavern has its in area for this kind of thing and they don't charge as long as people buy stuff. They can take up to 150 people, has its own bar, and has their own bathrooms. There's also a big tv and a sound system.

you really need to partner up with some one. They could teach you show you how they do it and you can help them where they need it.

And that's federal? What about all these fitness and diabetic signs I see everywhere? They sit there for ever. At least we only out them out on the weekend and pick them up.

The gurus teach to just do it but you need to protect your self and this is the place to do it. Listen to the podcast. My favs

it depends. You'll just have to post it in the deal analysis forum and get a feel for it.

It might take a while. Buying a list is the worst thing you can do. 

You can start off by selling it your self or find an agent at your local REIA.

Go to your local REIA Deals/Networking event. Ask the investors there who they use.

Go down to the courthouse and ask them what the laws/etiquette is in the area. One guy at a REIA here told me "yeah this guy did it and they got him when he got off the plane". It's not that big of a deal. If you want to pull over and pick up signs, then pick up all those other bandit sign as well. If you use a google voice they can't trace it to you.

Wait until they leave a voice mail. and delete it. Now you don't have to listen to them complain. That's what I do. People also get mad about me sending them letters.
