Internet Ads.

Guys, which section do you go to in order to place your ads that would attract buyers? These examples of ads that you are all sharing are great, but under which forum on cragslist and kijji do you post them???

Post your ad here, ask for feedback from everyone who reads this post as to how you can improve it.
Clearly, if you did not get a favorable response, you need to make a change maybe you cannot see how and maybe we can!

Look at the postings in your CL area. WHat are you looking for?

FSBO properties,
multi-family properites,
looking for sellers,
looking for buyers,
looking for partners,

post in the same areas which match what you are looking for

also, look under the SERVICES section and check out the 'real estate' and 'financial' sections

PPC = Pay Per Click

Craigslist is ok, but it is dilluted and full of other junk.

If you want to get targeted buyers and sellers, you need to use PPC ads. It is much less expensive than you may think.

I agree that craigslist is dilluted with so many ads, but it does at times bring good results. You may want to continue using craigslist. There have been times when I posted one of my homes for rent and I got a renter within the week of posting.

Yes, you may want to continue using Craigslist.

If you want to play the game even bigger, you may want to use pay-per-click.

That's all.....

Hi Folks,

When looking through for sale ads on Craig's list, I came across a very good ad placed by a local agent. The ad brought me to his website, which is very professional. It suddenly struck me that although I had not intended to look for an agent to partner with yet,this was a fellow with the marketing mind I wanted, to be my partner.
We are submitting our first offer on a REO today and he has a cash buyer looking for exactly that same model in that neighborhood. There is a $20,000 spread between the offer and the potential buyer's target price.

I am brand new at this and am obviously very excited about the prospect of my first transaction. The agent is also excited.
I pass this on because you never know where the opportunities lie. You can find buyers when looking for sellers and vice versa and an agent and buyers at the same time.

Thanks to all who have posted some excellent suggestions.

Success and Prosperity for all!

Hi JavaJim08,

I just noticed your post. First of all, how did it go with your first offer and potential buyer?

I am also new, but my question is If the agent finds you a buyer, wont you have to subtract his commission from that $20k.It seems to be a great idea, but if I did this in the NYC area were prices are high,for $200k property, 6% commission would be lot-and my spread would have to be substantial to accommodate agents fee and my profit or are you giving a lesser commission??

I post this add on craigslist and over 20 other free classified websites. It has been successful for me in building my buyers list. Just make sure you alternate it between sites. Don't keep re-posting it on one site or it will lose it's effectiveness.

"I have several handyman specials in (your area)

They range from complete rehabs to small rehabs

Prices vary between $30,000 to $150,000

All are priced at 30% or more below Market Value after rehab

Cash Buyers needed!!!

Serious investors please contact me for properties available

These properties must move fast!!!!"

If anyone would like a list of all of the free classified sites that I use you can find them on my blog http://www.realwholesaling.blogspot.com.

Anyone who wants can use this ad on craigslist to attract Buyers.

Attention Investor's 3brm / 2bath large fenced in yard,
Below Market Value,WON'T LAST LONG!!!

Contact: your phone No.& email address.

I have gotten 10 buyers for my list from this ad.
Also go to Google and in the search bar type in Free Classified ads.

Hope this help

Hello, I'm very new to this and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get started. I wanted to see about finding properties for any interested buyers first to get things rolling before I go on to doing any deals for myself. That way i could build me some cash to start working with. My question is where and how is the best way to go about finding investors that would be interested in having someone find properties for them. I have contacts in Seattle, WA, San Bernadino County, CA, Atlanta, GA, York County, PA and Calhoun County, AL, who are ready and willing to check on properties and do some leg work for me. I just need to find interested investors. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Marc,
Thanks for the sample of your ad. I'm going to tweet it to fit my area (sunny FL)and see how it goes. Again, thanks for the info.

Gee, I haven't been in here for a long time. Great posts!

Thought I'd include an ad I placed today for a house we are purchasing to rent out. I'm offering a rent credit which I will apply toward sewage, which tenants are responsible for (but often get behind on, in which case it goes on the owner's tax statement). I thought this would also look appealing to renters. We'll find out.
