Using Other People to Find Purchases

[Juan Diaz]

Hi All,

One of the things I’ve been trying to do these days is working with bird dogs who get a list of potential sellers, and go knock door-to-door in order to try and find someone who’s willing to sell. We offer something like 20-30K for a finder’s fee on a good deal.

I’ve had some decent-seeming people, and worked with probably ten people over the years, but have never really gotten anything concrete from them. I’ve gotten more leads just in my natural talking with people around my job sites than I have with these finders.

So I’m wondering, what’s your experience successfully working with birddogs to find houses?
