Nextdoor App to Find Properties???

Question

Has anyone used the Next-door app to find investment properties?  Searched BP and only saw discussions of using the app to keep eye on rental property neighborhoods but wondering if good idea to post to find homes?  If anyone has with some success, could you share what you posted and the results?  Thanks and hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!  I am as well but my mind never stops thinking about REI!  lol  Thanks!

A few months ago, Nextdoor started showing properties for sale.  The properties appear to be MSL from all over the area, but the agents are local to the neighborhood.  Some people mention they are realtors in their profile.  I suppose investors could take a passive approach and mention in their profile they were looking for properties to buy.  A proactive approach (contacting other members unsolicited) might be considered spam and result in termination from Nextdoor.

Since I have had no involvement with the real estate feature, I have no opinion about it.  I did, however, link up with one of my neighbors who posted he was a realtor.

I didn’t yet. Have been trying to figure out how to word it...any thoughts?  Maybe we can come up with something together!

I thought about doing this as well but I was afraid of all the backlash I would get. Especially since I actually live in the neighborhood. Did you try it?
