Tips for searching Craigslist

[Marilyn A.]

I would love to hear your tips for searching for MHs on Craigslist.

Here are a few I've learned over the past couple months:

Search through Real Estate for Sale, Free, and General sections. It seems there are about as many under General as Real Estate. There are some under Free, but they usually have to be moved, it seems.

These are the searches that have turned up homes for me:

Mobile Home, Mobil (!), Trailer, Trailor (!), Singlewide, Single wide, Doublewide, Double wide, Manufactured

Then some of them are simply listed as 2 BR Fleetwood, so I'm not sure how to turn those up. But here in Houston, reading through all the ads in Real Estate for Sale or General is a time consuming job.

Also, go back a good way, because I've seen people list a home on say the 1st, then lower the price a week or two later on the original ad, instead of reposting the ad.
