They flatly said that Bird dogging is illegal here. 

I'm not sure if this is even were I should post this question but my bird-dog (my dad actually) text me an address of a boarded up duplex - I looked it up and I go the name of the owner - but her address is the same as the duplex... how to I locate phone number for this person?

@Jacob Casarez Driving for dollars, calling off craigslist ads, direct mail, bird dogs (driving for dollars) 

I am the one who found the deal, I am the one who sent it to him asking him for something simple, accompany on site because I cant go by myself.

Honestly, It was great content, and so was the accompanying phone call the following day (9/27).

Hi @Jeff Gersbach...most likely, those who are posting those signs are wholesalers or somewhat new investors looking for "Bird Dogs" or other boots on the ground help.  

Whichever number is higher (assuming risks are the same...the whole bird in the hand, 2 in the bush), that would be the logical solution.You cant win on every fix/flip, that's the game.

You should also look into Airbnb a lot of weather birds go to Arizona for the weather, to golf and enjoy the sun.

Spread wildflower seeds everwhere and just let it go. plant some shrubs that are good for bees and birds. let it go.

It really kills two birds with one stone.
