Recently we covered the rules for posting on Craigslist. Now, we want to get into the fun (and more profitable stuff)…
Real estate investors have been using Craigslist for quite some time to make money. Based on the experience of some successful real estate investors, here are some tips and techniques to make your Craigslist ads more effective.
1. Use Keywords That Signal Distress When Searching
When you are searching Craigslist for motivated sellers, there are some obvious keywords that could bring you some results – like ‘motivated’ or ‘handyman special.’
It might also work to use some not-so-obvious keywords like:
- Divorce
- Wife
- Husband
- PCS (Military Term for Moving)
- Health
- Surgery
- Moving
- Death
- Illness
2. Use IFTTT as a Craigslist scraper
