djbusch 2 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 I'm closing in on that elusive first deal. Now I'm realizing that it may not be as simple as 1-2-3 to get a qualified t/b into a home. Due to a severe lack of funds, craigslist is my only option at this point. What type of ads have you guys placed on craigslist that generated the best response(s)? Apparently, the ad I placed a few days ago doesn't appeal to many prospective buyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 David, you've got to push their buttons to get your inbox busy and your phone ringing. Emphasize what matters to most t/b's: low down, generous rent credits, no bank qualifying, etc. If the terms are market friendly and you get the word out, they'll come a-knockin'. Craig's List, Backpage, and Ebay Classifieds are a good starting point. Check for smaller, local websites in your area. Be persistent with your ads. One ad with a poor response rate is way too soon to form any judgements. Once the property is under wraps, signs are a must, too. They are a cost effective way to generate interest.
