Well its pretty easy you just have to be a little creative. Look through your tax records or go on listsource.com to get a list of absentee owners that have bought more than one property in the last 6 months. You know they are active buyers, also call people in your area and ask them if they want to get on your buyers list. If your a birddog then i don't know why you need to have a buyers list, all you do as a birddog is find leads and then when it closes you get paid. you don't normally handle other parts of the process because your only getting paid a small fee if you do more than find the deals you should just be doing them on your own and making much better money.

    Hi Frank,

    There are tons of ways to find investors to bird dog for.

    You could try networking at a local REIA meeting, place ads on Craigslist, call "for rent" signs.

    I would also search through the wholesaling forums. There is some great advice on how to find buyers there.

    Hope that helps
