Birds of a feather flock together!

I meam besides being a Realtor or "bird dogging" haha.cheers yall!

You'd pay them 5k to bird dog for them, and they'd throw you crumbs if they closed on your lead...if you were lucky.

(Calling any real estate lawyers to comment.)Assuming one could live with the litigation risk, I would propose three options for buyer prospects to tour listings: 1) A buyer’s agent from another brokerage could schedule a tour OpenDoor-style, but with no compensation offered from the listing agent or seller 2) If the buyer has no agent from another brokerage, a buyer’s agent from mine could accompany the prospect and open the door for a fee ($25-50) 3) if a prospect insists on touring alone, for scheduling reasons or any other, the prospect would have to show proof of funds/lender pre-approval and pass a background check (this last part could pose challenges) You're passionate about the idea, I can see, and I'm not saying none of that could or would work, but in my honest opinion you're looking for a nugget of gold in a sea of desert here.

Would obviously have preferred to use a third party but this accomplishes exactly what I need - a birds eye view of the profitability each month without have to re-enter operational and tenant data into my own system when the property manager is already tracking this information. 

Maybe at the same time you are securing the deal you can be interviewing around to find a solid PM company & kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 

@Pat Arneson After working with my primary contractor for about 23 years (give or take) he now accompanies me on all my walk throughs.

So we only do it for vacant properties and for tenant-occupied properties, an agent always accompanies the prospectives through the home.
