I hate those signs, along with the ones that read they’ll buy your home cheap!  “They” are investors trying to flip a house so they can make a profit which isn’t altogether a bad thing if you’re a seller who needs to get out quickly and you don’t mind not getting a full price for your house.

However, an agent in my own area posted an outstanding video explaining the phenomenon. I wish I could embed it directly but until then, here’s the link to go watch.  It’s worth your time!
