What about these Transactional Funders? Has anyone worked with them?

www.BestTransactionFunding.com
www.ivisionaryfinancial.com

There is a 120 day TF, but am unaware of the criteria or whether they will fund Short Sales, REO or Bulk. I have yet to work with them.

Also has anyone worked with Ameraco?

I have heard good reports on "Ultimate Bird Dogging System" by Eric Medemar priced moderately. No I don't know nor have I done any business with him. Just information I tracked down on the web. I also found out he is part of BP.

Stacey Kellams has too many hits on scammer reports. I suggest shying away from his system.

Here are some web sites I use to locate buyers. Now remember just because you find them doesn't mean you can just email blast them. You have to interview them by phone and have a script prepared to cover the points that intrerest the buyer and yourself. Use a journal or Word Template and take notes.

Web Sites to Help Build a Buyer's List

craigslist.com
yahoogroups.com
backpage.com
lobo.com
vast.com
ebay.com
oodle.com
rent.com
kijiji.com
listsource.com
(allows you to rent or buy a list)
gosection8.com
postlets.com
socialserve.com

Perform Google search on keywords:
Motivated Seller, Moving, Divorce, Death, Job Loss, , REO, asset manager, preforeclosure, must sell

Subscribe to icontact.com to email blast your properties to your Buyer’s List.

Go to REIA Clubs, Chamber of Commerce meetings, go online, email to your list to locate other buyers, create separate lists for different types of buyers, buy software to locate buyers.

Also at REIA Clubs ask for help in locating Investor Friendly Title Companies.

Yo,

I did some online searches and found:
Books and Systems on Bird Dogging

Milt Tanzer's
"Bird-dogging and Beyond" E-book

John $Cash$ Locke
“Big Bucks Bird-Dogging†E-Book

Irena Major’s
“How to Become a Real Estate Bird Dogâ€

Stacy Kellams, Creator
“The Bird Dogging Systemâ€

Now I haven't checked out any of these as yet nor paid for or used any of these systems. Maybe someone on BP has.
