Any tips for Craigslist house hunting?
So the MLS in Dallas and surrounding area has very few to no real deals (following the 70-80% ARV rule) for finding homes. Being a new investor word of mouth does seem to be a real option for finding deals. I am trying to explore Craigslist as a viable option to find deals on SFR or small MFR and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to use Craigslist more effectively?
On a sort of separate topic does anyone know of any reliable wholesalers in the DFW area?
I apologize if this is a repeat question and thanks for any advice!!

We bought some great deals of Craigslist.
Have you tried networking with a few bird dogs and telling them your criteria. This is how we buy locate most of our property.
Thanks
