Patrick Jackson Yea I'm confident I can do my own thing, I would hate to know that I left money on table

Wayne Woodson I definitely agree with you....I work for somebody know I def don't want to somebody's employee or contractor

I was contacted to bird dog properties for an investor in my area. I'm currently building my REI company using the wholesale strategy. I listened to his pitch which was pretty much find properties that meet minimum requirements and get paid at closing 500-3000. Well I explained that I'm working on my own REI company and let him know that when i find deals I can send them to him and assign the contract

My question is: Am I missing out on anything by declining his offer to bird dog for him and instead suggesting to wholesale a deal?

Brian L. Hey Brian watching your journey really helps rookies like me, while reading I put myself in some of those situations and wonder what will I do when it's my turn......I just built my first list and will begin my DM efforts in the coming days....I'm interested to see if that short sale led you have turns into anything......

I worked in Loss Mitigation at a previous employer and I've witnessed and taken part of the short sale process....I would definitely look into that option....although it can be a lengthy process (FNMA) you can sometimes get a good deal

My 2cents

Good luck dude

Bill Mitchell if you don't mind sharing can you explain how you got to the point your at now, as fars as locating the property, locating and contacting the owner and then making an offer

This helps a Rookie

Thanks

@Richard Devaney Thanks for the information, I checked out investway.com and it looks like the real deal. how do I get access to MLS without being a realtor? When you search deed records do you go to the county clerks office?

No I didn't tell the investor the addresses I told him I'll get back to him but he is a cash buyer so I need to get on the research.

@Ugochukwu Opara ok would the info from realtor be much different from going to realtor, zillow or truilia and getting finding listing and sale comps

I drove a couple of neighborhoods and found 6 properties that looked distressed. I wrote down the address on each and searched the appraisal district for the owner info, some were "estate of xxxx" one owned by an LLC. I met an investor that buys in the area I'm looking in....In general I know what I need to do but I don't have a mentor so I'm looking for some insight on everything I need to do before I make and offer,

your information is actually right on time, I road a neighborhood today and found 7 properties I'm currently researching, I met an investor today that asked me to send him a deal and he's ready to jump on it

So thanks for the insight
