I began advertising on CL on a daily basis for motivated sellers.

These can often be purchased by a sealed bid accepted by the "delinquent tax board" which will authorize the sale for a lower amount than the "starting bid" after it has been advertised that a bid has been recieved for XXX number of days in the legal section of the local paper.

Interesting you've mentioned the gurus and teaching seminars - I can't look at any website without an advertisement popping up promoting fix & flip education to the masses.

I am a R.E agent advertising properties through NYC primarily in Queens, Bx & Brooklyn.

We advertised on Craigslist and via a sign in the window, and got most of our inquiries from the window sign, which should have been a clue that the unit didn’t have visual appeal.

(Inserted for legal disclaimer not as an advertisement.)I currently service IN, OH, FL and as such have seen a lot of different types of purchase contracts.I am looking to switch from stock market investing to real estate.My wife is scared to death.

Higher co-ops and incentives are being advertised, etc.

There’s a monthly Chattanooga meetup that’s usually advertised here.

I've even advertised on craigslist.  

(Most others have been raised to 375, and I'm currently advertising a renovated 1br apartment for 450 and taking applications).
