Has anyone been told they were Bird Dogging?

[Bill Dickson]

Hi All, my name is Bill and in getting into wholesaling here in Colorado Springs.Ive been in food service for over 24yrs and also have been a truck driver for over 9yrs mostly as a trash truck driver so i feel that this would be a awesome area to get in to. Ive been studying for over 5months and I was in a 6wk class to learn more so now i think Im ready for the new life style and if anyone has good input please let me know thanks . but Im  just wondering about how the definition of this is, Im starting wholesaling and someone said Im bird dogging cause I drive around to find properties to buy and help people.?

@Bill Dickson so here is my working definition. If you are locating properties and providing addresses and/or contact info for the owners then you are bird dogging. If you are putting those properties under contract and then selling the contract to others then you are wholesaling. If you are closing on the properties and reselling them, then you are flipping or whole-tailing.
