Bird dogging is a way to make money but its not gonna get you rich.WE have had many do some birddogging for us on the private lending side to find qualified people that need a loan and its interesting how many last a few weeks - I sense the same holds true for real estate bird dogs.

It has sat empty for the last 20 years but the current owners have completely gutted it, have bids from contractors they're willing to share, cost estimates etc. and have had lots of inspections done and so much pre-work with the city and county to figure out what they can and can't do, so a solid plan is already in place.

The problem we are having this year is that IHA never stopped paying after the last two residents moved out. 

For clarity, when I first started out, most of my bookings were from Airbnb and Pre-Approval is easy to do as a response to inquiries and only lasts 24 hours.

WE did a nice flip last may though in Winter Park that was a good one.

It's tough, the rents have gone up so quickly over the last few years that rentometer has had a tough time keeping up. 

There are people who overpaid in the last year, but they would only be in foreclosure problem if they lost income.

They want a bond. 

The absolute last thing I'd be doing is looking at other markets.

I was just down in Austin last week and know they have a good presence.
