I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or lose money in any market.

SEO optimization with targeted keywords can significantly boost visibility across these platforms.Strong photos and virtual tours tend to convert leads more effectively - tools like Asteroom or Sphere.app let you create these yourself.

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell
