I'd say save yourself the time and wholesale it!

Welcome to BP by the way =)

That is a great deal you got under contract. I've got a couple of houses I need to follow up on that I've driven by quite a few times as well ha good lookin' out!

Braden C. I reposted the forum topic at http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93-wholesaling/topics/93892-no-i-buy-houses-here-but-we-have-few-signs-we-thought-might-work

I made some of the changes you recommended.

Those were two things we thought we could change as well so I'm glad you confirmed that!

I wanted to get some feedback on our bandit sign designs.

Feel free to throw in some suggestions, constructive criticisms, or ideas!

I'd love to hear some successful phrases you've used that have had success so feel free to share!

I will be ordering these designs to be printed at Kinkos and will cut out the words so I can spray paint the signs.

WHoA! Slow down there Albert... Let's not get carried away...

I'll agree with buying the cash flowing real estate, but selling your guns may be a little too far!

Also believe you're right about nobody truly knowing when the next recession is going to come. We do know however that it will.

It's a motivator for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yes. What would be illegal about it? I remember being on the phone with Chase Bank getting approved for $58,000. There were other people on the line listening in and several people asking me questions about my ability to pay the money back. I told them I was using the money for "investments" and they approved it. These were in the days of loose lending before the whole financial meltdown. I'm hoping to do it again one day.

That's pretty slick and hilarious no doubt! I hope you, and I, can do it again one day.

I'm interested in knowing successful phrases if you would like to share.

BANDIT SIGN #1: (I just realized a 'Fixer Upper' doesn't tell what needs fixing up... Maybe just add 'House' to the end?)

No matter how you shake it, the cream always rises to the top. There's money to be made whether rates are high or low.

I remember WAY BACK in 2006, there was a bank near my house that was paying 5.5% interest on a savings account if you had at least $100K in the account. I kept getting credit card offers (almost daily) for 0% interest for 12-15 months. I ended up borrowing on five different credit cards for a total of $170,000 and put that money in that bank. I then sent the credit card companies their own money back monthly and kept all the interest. Good times.....

Ha is that even legal?

J Scott and Albert Hasson My question is, if you knew that this was going to occur without a doubt, then how would your strategy change in preparation?

If I knew it was going to happen, I'd "retire" early -- I'd liquidate everything, move my family to another country where people are less focused on material things and are more self-sufficient and I'd start on my long list of books that I've been meaning to get to.

Hahaha nice! Sell everything you have and jet.

I think I would buy a ton of land somewhere and start a farm. Not sure if I would leave the country for sure.

I think I would consider Ireland or Australia.

I'm not sure if Rick is totally up and running yet, but I worked with him on space planning a new facility they are moving into in the next month.

He has a couple of partners and has had years of experience in collections.

I've never used him before so I can't stamp my name on any endorsement, but he came to mind when I read this post.

Let him know Taylor Jennings from Office Works referred you.

I'm glad to hear that you decided to forego the fear and find success! I believe it was Buffett that said, "Buy fear and sell greed."

Then again, Buffett has been selling off a ton of his stocks last I heard?
