Newspaper Advertisement to find Off Market Deals?

[Anthony Gayden]

I am a beginning multi-family real estate investor in Arizona, and I was hoping to owner occupy and self manage something here in the town where I live and work. The thing is that the town is pretty small (around 4000 residents), though there are many multi-family properties here. So I decided to put an ad in the local newspaper. Do you think that this could help?

So I honestly did not think that this would work, yet about 5 minutes ago, a guy calls me saying he saw my ad. I am going to check out his property and see if it fits my needs.

This is a non-MLS listed property.
