Skiptracing websites replaced

[Deonte Palmer]

I was in real estate heavy for about a month ago. I recently took a break and analyzed what I was doing because I had a home under contract but couldn’t sell it. So in this post I have two questions.

1) Did DealMachine replace skiptracing all together? Or should I still use both

2) what would be the best way to find investors that would want to buy a wholesale deal. (Facebook groups only had wholesalers in them)

I use DealMachine also. I'm not sure what they use for their "enhanced search" service (basically skip tracing). 

Also check out sites like REISkip.com where you pay per search. 

I've only posted on BP and Craigslist for buyers. 

On CL I used an app called Canva to make really nice images to catch people's attention. I always thought the generic "We Buy Houses" in block letters looked cheap and generic. 

It's not hard to stand out on Craigslist with a little effort. My CL ad just directed people to my Lead Propeller site. You could just include an email and tell them what to include as far as criteria.

Save your templates in word so you can easily copy/paste later on.

Use keywords at the bottom of your CL ad to alert anyone searching for those terms.

Here's my list of Craigslist keywords. Copy and paste if you want:

sell my house fast | we buy houses | we buy homes | I buy houses | I buy homes | cash home buyers | cash house buyers | fast home buyers | fast house buyers | how to sell house fast | sell house quickly | sell house for cash | buy my house | buy my house fast | sell without a Realtor | sell house without an agent | sell house with tenant | sell house without repairs | sell vacant house | contractors special | handyman special | fixer | fixer upper | hammer | Moving | Moved | Probate | Inherited | Passed Away | Deceased | Executor | Heirs | Death | Code Violation | must sell fast | must sell | forced to sell | consider all offers | considering all offers | needs repairs | tlc | investor | investment | sfh | sfr | multi | distressed | vacant |

Just put some effort into the presentation.

Use a spreadsheet to keep track of your buyers and their info.

When you post on Craigslist, publish your post in the Your City/For Sale/Real Estate/By Owner section.

After it's published, click on your "view post" link multiple times....I do as many as 50-100 times. This tells Craigslist your ad has clicks, and anyone that tries to flag your post (it will happen) will have a harder time getting your post taken down.

I am not affiliated with any website, app or service that I mentioned here.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
