Like I said, I'm fairly new at bird dogging for people at this end of the spectrum - my bread and butter is multifamily properties between 2-4 units and SFRs, so the rules of engagement are totally different.

Then focus all of your attention on working with investors This will kill two birds with 1 stone.

I'm thinking about "bird dogging" it with my mentor if he'll allow me on his property.Thanks,Ethan

I have a strong interest in learning to become an investor, and I am looking to be a bird dog in the Detroit Metro area to learn a few things, and make a little bit of money to get me started in the business.

This is why finders fees and bird-dogging are problematic.
