Bird dogging for fast cash?
Hello all,
I recently decided I want to learn as much as I can about REI and would like to start from the ground up to learn the ins and outs on REI. I figure the best place to start is bird dogging since there is no risk involved (besides maybe not getting paid). I'm in the Air Force as I stated before so I have a pretty time consuming job, I figure bird dogging and studying up on Real Estate would be my best bet.
Question is how would I even start bird dogging? I know I need to understand what a good deal is. I know I need to find a wholesaler. What I don't know is how to get started.
Thanks in advance everyone!
