Working with experienced investors

[Arthur Clark]

I am currently looking for ways to get started in real estate investing and build capital for buy and hold properties. 

 The idea of offering bird dog services in the Akron/ Canton Ohio area is one that I have been considering for some time now. I would like to use it as a way to gain capital, familiarize myself with the area and build my buyer/seller list through networking. Are bird dogs still an useful resource to wholesalers or real estate investors?
