So, does Craigslist still work? Is like that still a thing? can you really find
motivated sellers that you can make a lot of money on on Craigslist? Well, yes
you can. And I'm going to tell you how. Let's go.
So, so much has changed with Craigslist. I'm going to tell you exactly what to do
now because so much hasn't been updated on the website. So, that you know exactly
how to use it today. Not some of the old stuff. Number 2, I'm going to share with
you the hidden gems on Craigslist. So, you're not just like all over the place.
So, you know exactly where to look without wasting too much time. And
thirdly, I'm going to tell you the thing that you need to do so that you can find
the big-money deals. Alright. Okay. So, let's start by talking about what
Craigslist is. So, many of you guys already know the website craigslist.org.
If you don't, I'll give you a link below and you know you can start using it and
setting up your account for free. And that's what makes this website so
amazing. Craigslist has always been free and it still is today. However, there are
a few things that you need to know about Craigslist so that you do not get into
trouble. Because Craigslist does have sort of a reputation for attracting some
people that (I don't know) maybe are a little not desirable. But that is not
true. That is a stigma that exists about Craigslist. But I'm going to tell you how to
navigate the website so that you don't get caught up in any scams or any
fraudulent people or anything that could put you in danger, okay? Because I want
you to stay safe. So again, Craigslist is just people, okay?
Just me and you. It's a platform that allows any of us to post an ad. We can
post ads about jobs. We can post ads about finding a date. we can find
dogs. You could sell your dog. You could sell your car. You pretty much can
sell almost anything on Craigslist. And the thing about it is it's a community-
based website. So, pretty much anyone can go on Craigslist and there's very few
people maybe monitoring the web site. Again,
the pro is you can go up there for free. You can get started. You can find what
you need. The bad side that you got to kind of watch and I'm going to give you
some tips is anyone can go on Craigslist. Any person. Maybe they have a criminal
record, you really don't know. All different
types of people are on Craigslist. So, I'm going to teach you how you can stay
safe but still find what you need, okay? Because Craigslist is amazing if you
don't get caught on the bad side. So, let's get into it. The thing that makes
Craigslist again so awesome is one, of course is free. And of course like I said,
you can set up your account and go there. But the really awesome thing about
Craigslist is that they allow you to find sellers buyers and real estate
investors on Craigslist. Pretty much everything that you need to be a
successful real estate investor is available on Craigslist. So, if you're
looking for properties and you're looking for motivated sellers, yeah,
Craigslist. So, you already have a deal. You found the person on Craigslist and
now you're looking to offload that deal to a real estate investor, those people
are on Craigslist as well. Say you already fixed and flipped a property and
you need someone to buy that property. There are buyers. Regular retail buyers
or on Craigslist. Again, pretty much everything that you need to be
successful as a real estate investor is on Craigslist. So, it's definitely a site
that you need to get signed up with and it's a site that you need to learn how
to use. And do not write it off because I'm going to tell you exactly how to be
successful now on Craigslist. So, the hidden gem on Craigslist are going to be
your For Sale By Owners, okay? I know some of you have heard the term FSBO, For
Sale By Owner, F-S-B-O. But yes, that is definitely what you want to be looking
for on Craigslist. And there are tons of motivated sellers on Craigslist that are
there for free, okay? Like I said, Craigslist is a place where people can
go and post something for sale for free and it reach millions of people, okay?
Depends on the area that you're in. And the great thing about Craigslist is that
it breaks down for each major city. So, for example if you are in Georgia,
there's the Atlanta market, there's the Savannah market, there's the Macon market,
there's the Athens market. Just using that as an example. So again, for every
major metropolitan area in your state, Craigslist has a section for you. So you
want to first go and find that section, find your specific market and then you
want to go through the ads, okay? Because this is the hidden gem on Craigslist. There
are so many people that decide it for some reason or another that they cannot
sell their home with a real estate agent. Okay? And these people have decided that
they are going to find someone to buy their home or rent their home and
they're going to use Craigslist to do it. And here is the opportunity for you: All
you have to do is respond to those ads and give them your pitch. That's it.
Nothing too complicated. Nothing crazy. And it's super easy and
you can do it from home and you could do it with just a phone in a computer, okay?
That's the first thing. You can call and you can email these people. Again, they've
already raised their hand to be contacted. You can start to work those
relationships. The second thing that you can do on Craigslist that is amazing is
use a strategy that me and my students use. Oh, this is a good one. One of the
amazing things that you can do at Craigslist is you literally can set up
multiple free accounts. So, like I said, you can answer people's ads. But also, you
can post ads. And there are free in most cases. Or if you want to post one as a
business, it's super inexpensive. I think it's like $5. It's so cheap. And
you can get a ton of leads using Craigslist. But what me and my students
do, what I'm going to teach you that's kind of in a secret is you can set up
multiple accounts, okay? You can set up multiple accounts on Craigslist so that
you can post ads multiple times per day so that you can get multiple leads. And
all you have to do once you set this up is just push a button and refresh your
ad. So easy, so simple. That's it. Okay. So, that concludes how to find motivated
home sellers on Craigslist. Again, you have the section for For Sale By Owners.
You have the section for For Rent By Owners. And you can literally call both
of those people and find lots of leads. And you can do what I said and create
multiple accounts so that you can refresh your ads many times throughout
the day so that your ads are showing up before everybody else's does. Go ahead
