Hello everyone,
Since I can't seem to find a suitable "used" house within my price/performance range and new construction is probably off the table, I’m considering placing a real estate wanted ad in a local newspaper. This seems rather unusual, especially with specific location preferences (beyond general ads like "we buy anything" or "family looking in county...").
What do your experiences say? Is there a chance to catch the attention of people who haven’t yet listed their property on their own?
Thanks,
Andy

As a tip: Check if you can find anything at foreclosure auctions. The buildings usually sell for a low price there, and you can then renovate them however you want if something is missing.
