Advertising for seller financed buyers

[Shanequa J.]

Where are some good places to advertise seller financed houses? The ideal buyer would be owner occupant because an investor would not have any cash flow. I was thinking Craigslist, FSBO, and the MLS. Any other suggestions?

@Shanequa J. The #1 way to find that type of buyer is still a good old fashioned yard sign. Also an open house can work very well especially if there are renters in the area.

A website is a good thing. But most of the leads you get from online advertising are not far enough along in the process to close. You might sell a house to them 6 months down the road, but not likely today. Whereas people who are actively driving through the neighborhood are often ready to go when the opportunity presents itself.
