I highly second @Kwame Amoako and recommend starting with a off market direct to seller campaign to generate some leads. 

He had no losses and lead me to believe I would get my deposit back initially.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

I'm working a lead and the seller gives me permission to visit the property after confirming a time with the tenant.

Many lenders see recent transfers as a risk, which could affect your terms or lead to a denial.Regarding taxes, changing the property's ownership can have some effects.

Either way we, in the simplified model, expect interest rates to lead to stagnant or falling prices.

Most of what a bird dog is, is finding leads and getting paid a certain way, either through a commission, salary, or compensation.

Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

You still need to qualify leads, and the carrier obstructions that come and go can derail your momentum.

I also found that sharing knowledge and collaborating with others can lead to new investment opportunities and valuable insights.
