Why advertise live online and in person if they are not going to look at times bids were submitted to make a determination of the winner.

Is it illegal to advertise (on craigslist) properties listed by another agent if I am not an agent?

Craigs list and google ad words is another good palce to advertise.

In my area, the houses on the lower end of the price range, i.e. sub 300k are being bid on fairly aggressively.We are all cash buyers and have been considering advertising a finder's fee if someone could bring us properties pre MLS.

I know that some of these "gurus" advertising their courses will supply you with one, but I don't feel like forking out $5K.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It may be possible, for a FSBO, to show past advertising efforts with a price stated over a period of time, to accomplish this requirement, IMO as I have accepted such proof in the past.

You can be charged for items which would not normally be chargeable, such as advertising and the cost of re-renting the place.

I've been running an advertisement once a week or so in craigslist under misc. jobs - the subject: House Hunter WantedHere is what I put in the add:Hi.Are you looking for some extra income?

i thought that the spreadsheet made it very clear that there is an asking price and the notes tell you that the property is rented or not section 8 or not there is a column that tells you how many units there are. i admit that there should be the appraised value column but then they tell me that they want to see the actual appraisal form. then the next thing i know there is someone telling me that someone else has brought them the same info. myka i advertise here and REI clubs, INternet groups and even went as far as going to postlets craigslist everywhere that i can advertise i have done so.

investors...today i called on a condo i saw advertised in downtown charlotte..it was being sold with a lease option....i was interested in getting in and putting a tenant in, but as always, had my guard up...when i asked about the condo, the seller said "that one is a rent to own"...i replied are you listing many bc you said 'that one'...he said he had a few...i asked if he was the owner, and he said no....i asked if he was an agent, and he hung up on me..obviously he was an investor, from what i can figure, working with sellers who were behind on payments, probably trying to work something out, either with the bank, and/or with the actual owners.....THE POINT IS....he did not disclose any of this to me..in fact, he seemed upset when i pried, and then hung up on me, when he figured out i knew what was going on...this is not a way to do business..please learn from this idiot...TO THE IDIOT, if you're on here, fix your biz before you get in trouble brother..no body will trust people like that, and it gives everyone else a bad name..thanks
