Birddog?

[Reginald Vickers]

I am reading everything I can and soaking it up like a sponge (or maybe a brick, I am forgetful). I just appreciate BP so very much. I describe myself as an unborn newbie as I want to know what I am doing before I get started. Looking at wholesaling. So I think I have found some descent places in good neighborhoods for low prices. I read on one of the banners about http://www.reiwholesaleguy.com/. Is he legit? How can I be someone's bird dog so that I can get my feet wet or are these just scams? Thanks in advance. Reggie

I never heard of the guy. Of course there are lots of new gurus popping up every day claiming to teach REI. Note that his blog hasn't even been updated in a over a year.

While he might be a good instructor and will help you in your investing. He doesn't have any secrets that you can't learn here.

To be a bird dog, go to your local investor groups and find buyers and ask what they want. At the same time go looking for deals and see if you can match up some buyers and sellers.

Keep in mind in most states being a bird dog ie; putting together a buyer and seller, without a real estate license is illegal. It is considered acting as a real estate broker without a license. When you wholesale, ie; get the property under contract first, you avoid that pitfall. There are lots of thread on the issue here.
