Bird dogging, what's the right way?
Bird dogging to find deals what's the right way of doing it? I don't have a license, but if I did what's are the difference if any. I find deals for to fix and have rentals but also wholesale. Also I would pay for refferals, is that ok?

If I close a deal whomever refers it to me gets paid. This check was issued to a wholesaler without any contracts between him and I. I simply stated to him if I get the deal for X you will get paid Y. This business is all about keeping your word in order to build strong relationships.
