Nice Brian!! Talk about super risky. What would you have done if you ran out of money on the cards for the rehab?! Glad it worked out for you.

Thanks Jenkins most helpful! I will update you guys on what I learn.

Thanks for sharing your experience of your first deal! Your right on about there being no set path and that you just have to roll with the cards your dealt. My cards could possibly yield OPM. But I need to learn more before I try to tap it. Part of that is learning how to talk to an investor and knowing what to say. I feel like that is my obstacle right now.

Thank you both for your quick responses. I think I have you guys confused about how much knowledge I actually have on Bird Dogging. I really don't know much about it and am looking for someone to kinda explain it a little more in detail. In my mind I was thinking you go out and find deals then pass the deals on to buyers for a finders fee? Am i just way off?

Can some one give me some direction on how to start Bird Dogging. How do you make money doing it and how do you make sure you actually get paid for your work?

Thank you Paul for the tip! Going to a local REIA meeting tomorrow. Can't wait to start networking!

J-scott thank you for your response.
You just gave me an Aha moment thank you for that! There is a REIA group meeting on monday that I will be attending as well. Hopefully ill connect with some rehabbers.

First off thank you for responding.
Can you go into more detail on how I get experience. And what are the benefits of getting a mentor from the local REIA.

I have been interested in real estate for many years now and I know its where I belong. It is the only thing i feel passionate about iv come to learn. I have come to this site to gain knowledge from the experience of its members. So here is the skinny. I have a possible private investor that I haven't approached yet about my plans. Im looking to start out by purchasing a property for under 30k and putting no more than 20 to 30k into it and than selling for profit. I would like to hear experiences on how any of you have secured your first private investments to get started in the business of real estate.
