I am a big fan of Craig’s List; so are my Inner Circle members, some of whom use it extensively to do a lot of things in their Michigan real estate investing. It is easy to use; it offers the best price possible (free) and you can put things up on it just to test and see if anybody calls. Detroit News would charge you some dough for the same thing.

Interesting thing about Craig’s List is that between January's and today – the number of ads on their Michigan sites (especially Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Lansing) has almost tripled. More and more people are using it and talking about it to their friends, family and everybody else who in turn tell other people and so the circle grows and grows.

There is a new kid in town and hat tip to Ijlal Inner Circle member Mandy Melone from Livonia for pointing it to me – Kijiji is a brand new free online classified website that you all should be using in your Michigan real estate investing business. It is owned by Ebay so you can bet that they are going to advertise the heck out of it. It is free and extremely easy to use.

Craig’s List and Kijiji are two websites that you should bookmark and spend some time on. They could be worth a lot of money / contacts to you if you learn how to use them. Did I tell you that both of them are free? Meaning that you can mistakes and it is still O.K. Here is a screen shot of Kijiji
