Every time I post a property for rent this happens!

I know this happens to other investors / landlords.  I cringe every time I hear Josh, Brandon, or anyone else on a podcast say, "Call people on Craigslist or Zillow that have a house for rent and see if they want to sell it, they might be a tired landlord."  

Every time I post a house for rent I get a bunch of people e-mailing and texting me this almost exact text, voicemail, or email, "Hi Thomas, I am an investor and I saw your rental property on Craigslist.  I am looking to buy a property in the same area in the next few weeks.  You wouldn't have any interest in selling would you? Call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx.  Thanks 

I laugh because as soon as I tell them "All of my properties are for sell, at full appraised value, and I don't do owner financing."  It's like crickets, they never return the message.

Anyone else dealing with this on a  routine basis?
