But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

They asked how we got a hold of a site from a private listing.

Feel free to track on the site above or if not, I'll post again with an update in a few weeks time as they get closer to some sort of proposal.  

Rae, I would keep checking the sites including FSBO, FaceBkMarktplace, and driving neighborhoods. 

I see no value in it for evaluation.Realestate.com has always been a good site for accessing properties, but they do a poor job of evaluation.

With my other listings, I use pricelabs, and on their site it says to contact them for more unique pricing.

Next, arrange a site walkthrough to pinpoint any additional needs or potential challenges.

Then go to the different sites that come up and find where it says contact and then send them a message asking them to add you to their buyers list. 

I keep monitoring the properties in the Cleveland Heights area (where we are looking to buy) on Zillow and other web sites but I am sure there are other ways of finding properties.
