How To Find The Best Motivated Seller Ads

In your bookmarks, you have a section called newspapers where you can go to the sources I have provided for you and find any local newspaper in the United States that has a web presence. That way you do not have to buy the newspapers. So in your bookmarks, when you install that, you will be able to go in there and find any local newspaper and you will be able to save them right to your favorites. So you can search them very fast. That is what I do. We have about 10 or 11 different newspapers in our surrounding area that we search. I have my bookmarks saved all the way to the Real Estate section of the Classifieds and I can search, in about fifteen minutes, all the newspapers for Real Estate. Now the other thing that you want to look at is, not only looking in the Real Estate section, but also possibly in the “businesses for sale”. Sometimes businesses have real estate for sale. You should also search in the “for rent” section because there may be landlords that are renting property, but they are tired landlords and they are aggravated, and that would be a good source to buy property as well.

In looking at Classifieds, there are also several sources for newspaper ads. Some newspapers use a source like www.abracat.com as their classified search service, so you might want to check that and just look for a local newspaper under that website. That is in your bookmarks as well. There are some key words that you want to look at in the classified ads. Several of the key words that you want to look for are: owner transferred, obo (or best offer), divorce, owner financing, no down or low down payment, owner flexible, below appraisal, investor special, handyman special, fixer upper, lease option, rent with option, take up payments or owner desperate. Also, a few things you want to look for are out of town phone numbers. When searching the classifieds in Firefox you can highlight the keywords making it easy to find the ads you want to look at. I will show you how to do this in the DVD tutorial.

Another thing to keep in mind is that some people do not know if Saturday or Sunday is your real estate day. For example, some people do not know that Saturday is the real estate day in my area and think Sunday is the best day to run the ads. So always look in the Sunday’s edition, as well, when you are looking, whether in the physical paper or online. Another source is if your local area has a legal newspaper or a legal section of your newspaper. You want to look for newly filed Foreclosures or Judgments. Sometimes there are classified ads in there.

Divorce listings may be another source. Also in our area, if the property is under code enforcement, which means that the property has code violations that do not meet minimum housing standards; and they cannot find the owner, sometimes they will publish a notice looking for the owner. This is a good source as well if you can find the property that is under code enforcement and if you can locate the owner. Sometimes you can buy those properties pretty cheap. Some of the best deals that we have gotten have been through code enforcement. We will talk about that in a little bit too.
