A. Anyone who lists on craigslist, and tells you one day they're gonna sell, and the next they're not, you only have one response: "Well, keep my number in case you change your mind" (or, better yet, email them so they have your email addy). But don't waste your time.
B. Anyone who has more than one rehab and has another full time job is a bit koo-koo. Unless they've had dozens of other rehabs-- in which case he's hiding some major problems that he thought he could fix for less, but was wrong.
Those are totally my opinion. I could be very wrong.
Oh, and no need to do a first drive by-- just use the street view on Google maps (assuming you have the address). Also, see if other repos/etc are on redfin.com (redfin may not work in your area, not sure).
Google maps is great-- you can virtually "drive" around the neighborhood-- also looking at those other comp houses. When I've done that, sometimes, I can see a BIG difference in the other houses (ie, they're much better, on bigger lots, etc).
