I'm a college student majoring in business. I've been introduced to real estate investing and have a membership at my local REIA. Recently, I've been asked to be a bird dog for an investor who's out of town. I'm a total noob but didn't mention that. We are scheduled to have a tele-meeting next week to discuss criteria and such. I understand the theory in general but need specific tips and examples from those of you who have done this successfully. Do I need to be involved with the contracts? How much do I charge? Do I even decide that? I could use all the help I can get! Thank you Thank you!!!
