raresaturn replied to the topic Answers to “Where to Find CF+ Deals” in the forum Hi, you could try searching 15 years ago
Hi, you could try searching on PropertyKeyword.com. Just type in "corner block" for instance, and it will find all properties across the major sites with that description. Some of my favorite keywords to search for are disused, abandoned, and former. You can find some really interesting properties this way.
