Beginning in Bird Dogging

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone, I'm learning real estate hands on by doing bird dogging. I have some investors already willing to work with me so I have that step down, but now I'm stuck and what to do now. How do I find these deals that are off market, what kind of homes should. I target and what are the best ways to find them? Also if they are vacant homes, absentee owner, or something else like that, how would you get in contact with the owner? When I do find these properties and the owners, what should I say to the owner for marketing myself? And overall how would I start out with bird dogging, and how much does it cost for marketing and everything? Please help me, I'm trying to make a good name for myself, thanks! Also if any of you would like to talk some more please pm me as well, I'd really appreciate your help!
