THE RUBAND HOWTO OVERCOME IT Here’s the rub: Almost ev- ery serious investor has post- ed ads on Craigslist for deals from motivated seller leads, but I can guarantee you that only about 0.1 percent (yes, a fraction of a percent, and yes, that is just an educated guesstimate) are consistent. You’re probably asking yourself whether posting ads on Craigslist still works. You might see tons of ads on Craigslist and wonder, “How the heck is someone going to go to my ad and contact me instead of all these other people?” Let your competition think that way. I know someone in San Antonio who posted a Craigslist ad and landed his first deal, which ended up netting him $100,000 in prof- it. I’d say that’s worth posting free ads consistently—all the time. I was kicking myself for not having ads on Craigslist. Due to space constraints, I cannot go into more detail about posting ads to Craig- slist here. Instead I’ve created a PDF download that includes ads that produce results that you can copy and paste for your own use. The FREE PDF also includes details on the best times to post your ads, which sections to post in, as well as a strategy to dominate Craigslist in your area.

• Avoid exposing yourself or others to mold – wear gloves and goggles, and use an N-95 respirator. • Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces – clean and dry them thoroughly before painting. • If you suspect the HVAC system has been compro- mised by mold, do not run it, as it could spread mold throughout the entire building. • If you are unsure about how to clean an item, consult a specialist. Find more tips in the EPA’s “Mold, Moisture, and Your Home” guide. Insider Tip: Mold remediation expert Terry Amerine of Green Home Solutions says, “Removing affected materials is actu- ally when we often see the introduction of higher levels of mold and more hazardous types of mold. The problem is they are often much more concentrated behind the wall, and when you remove the material without proper air containment, you intro- duce them into the air and the living area of the home or apartment.” If you are unsure about your ability to handle a water cleanup, call the pros instead.
