Thank you Mr. Emmins. I shall do this.

I found a few properties while going throughout my neighborhood recently for bird-dogging.

I introduced one of them to one of the investors I had spoken with before. I researched the property a bit to find the square feet, estimated price (whatever that is for), date built, and bed and bath size.

These I told the investor, as well as any miscellaneous information I had: such as whether the property was empty, why, and for how long.

Afterwards, the investor asked if I had any information and what I wanted him to do.

Is there any information I forgot to include?

Should I have given him the address? Or do I wait?

How should I reply?

Should I ask about a bird-dog agreement?

What steps would you take to move things forward in my position? What would you want if you were the investor working with me?

I thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you for your advice. I'll go look around and see what I find. All I need to do is find the addresses and notify the investors? Suddenly I feel the need for a neighborhood jog...

I thank you for your input, your help will be greatly appreciated. Being able to analyze deals when I move forward with investing would be a great boon. I will definitely heed your instruction.

Hello all,

It is a pleasure to be here. So as you read, I am new to real estate. Not just investing, but real estate in general. Still, I hope to make some profit while I go to college. I also want to not worry about money when I graduate. Getting a job has not been the simplest thing for someone like me (no experience and chaotic schedule). So, I decided to go this route as a solution.

I currently have no money, car, or support. I have been told of wholeselling and bird-dogging. But I found that I don't know what I'm doing. For example: I see a house. Now what? How do I know if an investor would like it? Run the numbers? What numbers? How do I get them? If I just want to bird-dog for now, do I need numbers? Ignorance becomes irritation. Irritation becomes fear. Not fear to fail. But fear of what happens if I don't move forward.

I would not be so presumptuous as to expect help. But any would be greatly appreciated.
