Craigslist ?

[Carlos Coronado]

Is craigslist a good source to find deals? Maybe forsake by owner of market sale. Has anyone closed any deals through this?

[Joe Cantanzriti]

Craigslist is a great source for deals for sure..... a good place to start is in the rental section, you have a whole list of rental property owners at your fingertips who may be interested in selling. Just go down the list and call up every rental listing that appears to be a non-institutional owner or a property obviously managed by a professional management company. It's a great way to fine tune your phone skills as well, you never know when you might catch a landlord at the right time where they've had enough of that property or maybe another one. 

Also you can check out some other areas of craigslist too that could lead to a potential deal.... garage sales or estate sales posted on craigslist could mean a future home that will need sold as well.
