The process of finding deals on Craigslist

[Sheldon Alex]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get started in finding deals on Craigslist but for one, there's so many properties that are for sale by owner in my area. I wanted to find out from some of you that have successfully found deals through Craigslist of the steps you use to getting those deals. For example:

• Do you run comps before calling the owner if a address is present on the ad? 
• Are there parts of a ad that give you hints that it's a potential deal? 
• What questions do you ask to find out if the property is worth checking out in person? 

Thanks for any advice.

Sheldon
