How Can I Hire Birddogs as an Agent

[Wayne Woodson]

I have been a wholesaler since 2008 and have recently became an agent. How can I hire bird-dogs to get leads for me as an Agent legally. I don't want to do anything under the table as the whole reason I got into RE was to get out of doing "shady" things. I was told I would told I would have to pay an hourly wage if I did and I was told by someone else that I couldn't hire anyone and my broker would have to do it. I was also told it was illegal too. Any suggestions?
