For the reason Jon pointed out above, his popularity is due to the fact that most people are living pay check to pay check to pay off that truck which is worth 8 month's of their salary!

However, seller financing is very popular here in the DFW area and I think that would work on a build to seller-finance business model.

That book is an insanely popular motivational pamphlet and not much more.

I don't know about what works best but I guess I would see where the break point is.Can you get a 6 person tub for the same or less than a 5 person because it is the most popular.

What seems to have worked is posting on Facebook Marketplace and the Fb groups popular in that city.

As mentioned you should look into Norfolk, there are also pockets that are becoming more popular such as south VAB toward OBX and town center. 

The property is in a popular area & close to good schools.

If you're talking about staging the house, go look at model homes in your area and see what is popular.

This means you would be losing out on other popular websites such as redfin, realtor.com, broker sites, etc.The flat fee broker should be passing all unrepresented buyer leads to you, so its best to keep the MLS feed going out to websites.

The most popular locations I see people targeting when they relocate is Rose Park ( close to downtown but more reasonably priced) Millcreek, sugarhouse, ( east side if the valley close to mountains and skiing but Still not far from downtown)Then near the University of Utah.
