Sucessful strategies to pre-sell my flip

[Jill Speth]

I'm finding that it's split on weather or not it's a good idea to pre-sell a flip but I have decided to go for it. The Denver market is slowing and going into the slow holiday season it's appealing to go ahead and market my flip FSBO while the work is finished up (my target list date is 10/31/2019). I don't plan to let the end buyer pick finishing materials but rather, I'm planning to offer a discounted price on the house for an accepted contract prior to the house being finished and listed in the MLS. I'm licensed and plan to discount the price roughly the co-op fee I would pay the buyers agent. I have about 2 weeks until the new windows are installed so I'm using this time to develop a marketing plan. By that point the main level laminate floors will be installed, bathroom tile and paint will be complete so I should be able to get some decent pictures. For those that have had success doing this what strategies have been effective in finding a buyer off the MLS? I'm already planning targeted FB ad's, boosted posts and Zillow FSBO. Thank you for all suggestions!
