Of course you can check in your local newspaper but it is best to drive around the area and/or neighborhood you’re most interested in moving in. Most for sale by owner don’t even bother to be on those by owner websites and please don’t by shy to contact them.
Personally, the zillow website for my area and house is not accurate, I would not rely on them. While it is nice to check the info and photos on the web there is nothing better than to see with your own eyes how the house really look. Pictures and actual condition can be very different.

If you want to see most of the homes For Sale By Owner, I’d highly recommend buying a monthly subscription to one of the sites that collect all the data and compile it into a FSBO list and resell that daily list to the public. They collect all the newspaper ads, all the different FSBO website ads, all the free website ads, newsgroups, etc. and put them on a easy to browe list by area. Landvoice.com is one of these sites. There are several others.
It costs about $30 to $40 per month..but it sure saves a LOT of time! Some Real Estate Agents also supply these lists for no charge so you might want to give a few of them a call.

The best way to do this is go to fsbo.com or craigslist.org or net. If you have to Google Craigslist to see whether it is org or com.

Place an ad in the real estate section of your newspaper:
"Will pay cash for your home. Call (phone number)."
You might want to modify this by stating a price range, such as "Will pay cash for your home, up to $175,000 etc."
Of course, unless you actually intend to pay cash, the "cash" will be paid by mortgaging the property and paying cash, or paying off the seller’s mortgage at the settlement of the sale.
