So for the last week or so I have been placing PROPERTY FOR LEASE signs on my properties that will be turning over this summer. Since I have mostly single family homes, I place them in mulched or flower bed areas where they do not pose a problem with grass mowing which will be upon us in a week or so.
All my current signs are out or will be by the end of the week. I remove them ONLY when the property is leased and I place it on another property if needed or it comes back to my basement.
I inventoried them this past winter, cleaned them and fixed missing screws/washers and glued down any letters that were coming up (these are vinyl signs made by local sign maker in my co colors). I have 2 signs with no metal stands that I place in windows of condo units if they can be read from the outside.
Since the signs are made specifically for me, if I need more, I need to order them NOW for pick-up in May….
