FSBO Websites to find properties

[Michael Caruso]

Hey all! 

I'm in the beginning stages of finding properties in the Chicagoland area- I've been hearing that the properties on the MLS aren't the best way to get a good value on a property, especially if I want to BRRRR. In the future I hope to begin direct mailing- though for the time being I've seen a few FSBO website- in particular, byowner.com.

Do any of you have any experience buying from these databases? Would you advise for or against it? Should we just stick the the MLS and direct mailing?

Thanks!
