Has anyone had any success buying For Sale By Owner on Craigslist ?
I have a couple wholesaling courses where the writer advocates this as a viable strategy.In my experiance most folks posting on Real Estate For Sale/By Owner on Craigslist are investors peddling a rehabbbed/refurbished house & are really looking for a retail buyer.I have found u have to wade thru 40 to 50 ads before you find an actual "Mom and Pop" seller with a fixer house for sale.Not a very efficient prospecting strategy.Any comments or insights greatly appreciated.
