I called back without a script and got the address, reason why they were selling (moved to different neighborhood), and scheduled a walk-through.While at the walk-through, they said they have a mortgage on the property but didn't want to disclose any information and were not interested in Subject To or any creative financing techniques (which was a bummer because they could have made more money that way).  

Does anyone have any experience in this technique?

I am leaning towards trying this marketing technique.

But it's so interesting to learn all these different techniques in acquiring a deal.Thanks Brian!

Scott The Book on Flipping Houses,The Book on Estimating ReHab Costshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbookHighest and Best use Techniques you might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

Will this technique be different then just going to the site and looking up the ad like any other user would be?

They know many like you maybe have enough to buy a course or something or do a seminar at the least.These people maybe have completed one or two deals or none at all.The guru's realize it's much easier to hype you up and sell stuff than do deals with the techniques they are pushing.Think about it this way.

Is there a matrix that shows which techniques are suitable for which situations and what skills need to be mastered for each technique?

Since I'm not an experienced investor to provide indepth articles about real estate investing, IMO until I close my first deal, I figure I post opportunities that I come across as a way to contribute and create conversation about different techniques and what could have been done better.

Very high end materials and construction techniques.
