Ads from Realtors on Craigslist

[Skye Payne]

Hello All!

I'm working on the beginning stages of my Real Estate Empire.... Started to look for motivated sellers on Craigslist, and I notice that a lot of them are from Realtors (obviously). My question is, should I still bother with these leads if they post an MLS# with it? If I look in the description and see an MLS# should I just move on? (I would like to stay away from the MLS, but I understand that I'm probably going to have many run-ins with it eventually)

Thanks in advance, everyone!
