Craigslist ad looking for buyers and the reply i received back.

[Keith Belzner]

I posted an ad on craigslist looking for interested investors / cash buyers who are looking to purchase when i have properties available in the future. I did not say I had a property and then say oh sorry its sold but give me your info and ill get back to you. I was upfront that i am building my buyers database. 

I got an email that asked if I still have the house for sale. I replied that as my ad stated, I have no house just looking for buyers for the future. here is the next email from this person. Obvious a wholesaler which is fine but the response is a "robo response" as i call it. I am looking at wholesaling and this type of person ,to me ,is the type that cause people to hate wholesalers.

I'd just say focus on finding a deal as opposed to building a buyers list. Like you said, some people post fake deals so that cash buyers will respond and they add them to their buyers list. Well if you find a real deal those same cash buyers will respond too. People who are buying homes aren't just sitting around waiting for an email from the many lists that they're on, they're out there looking too. 

Get the deal, don't waste time and energy on buyers lists.
