Bird Dog in Utah, anyone?
I just recently learned about a great way to learn about Investment Real Estate: Bird Dogging.
I was listening to show 84 of the BP podcast, and Chad Carson says that's how he got started, so I'd love to follow the same path! I'm looking for someone who needs (or would like to experiment with) an unskilled bird dog.
I don't have any experience, but I have read a lot and feel like with just a little bit of guidance, I will be a very valuable asset. I work hard and I am committed to learning as much as possible, so I'd be a great partner for you! I live in Orem, but Provo, American Fork, Lehi, Salt Lake City (SLC), Springville, Spanish Fork, and the whole Utah Valley are accessible to me.
Please feel free to contact me on BP or through email if you're interested, I'd love to work with you!

@David
I am an investor, mostly in Salt Lake, Summit and Utah Counties. I have also flipped, wholesaled and rented properties in Cache, Davis and Duchesne counties. I have purchased several properties through wholesalers. In August I was contacted by a young guy who has done some construction and landscaping for me. He has been picking my brain for months about investing and he's been listening to EVERY BP Podcast! He has been sending out letters to absentee owners and telling everyone he knows that he is looking for houses to buy. He got a call back from a motivated seller in West Valley City and he needed some help on what to do next. We called the seller back after a little research on the home and made a verbal offer. I closed on that house 2 weeks ago and I wrote that young man a check for $5,000. I (and many other investors) would be happy to pay a bird-dogger 2-10K if the deal is good enough.
Happy Hunting and let me know if you find anything!
