Some areas listed (approximately) were:1) Bird-dogging/wholesaling - buy low, sell high (quickly), but deals take a lot of effort to find/negotiate.2) Buy and hold - you're putting your money in up front, and your time into long-term management of the property (of course, you can have a mortgage and/or a property manager, but these reduce profits, and you're still likely to need SOME money and SOME time involvement).3) Service provider - a real estate agent, loan officer, contractor, inspector, etc.

Has anyone heard anything about birddogz.com, or ever earned any money finding properties for them? I just signed up and I figure the education I'll get couldn't hurt, but I was wondering if anyone here has earned on...

my fear about re investing has to be that i might invest in a "lemon" and what ever exit strategy i have wont work. or if i buy into a rental income property i will encounter a hidden expense that i could not have foreseen no matter how much i analyze.but my latest fear is that i am finding the good deals but because i have allowed my credit history to slip i wont find funding for them in a timely manner.i know the deals i have been researching will make money for me even if i get a higher interest rate. i have even thought of assigning these deals to other investors for a fee (bird dogging) but i am still trying to build a list of serious investors who will act and are not just talk.

:beer: I have paid bird dogs over $5,000 this year, so if you know a great property, I am here.I sell real estate for my day job, I have been selling real estate for around 6 years, specializing in Investment property, flipps, rehabs, and wholesaling.I look forward to learning a ton on this forum.

It seems that you can bird dog, or wholesale properties for them for pay.

I have several commercial investors whom I have established relationships with whom have asked me to sniff of a few Apartment Building for purchase w/good cap rates and are willing to spend between $500,000. and $1,00...

I also wanted to thank the creators of this site for hosting such a great resource free from the BS that sometimes accompanies this subject.Sincerely,Matt

I want to wholesale or bird dog this property if it is a deal.I was going to call today and get the address, pull comps, tax info, sewage bill and check rental rate in the area.Then go and look at it this weekend.

Would that really be classified as wholesaling, and not bird dogging, or, are they one and the same?

I have been a guest here watching for awhile, i am a member at almost everyother RE forum and thought i would join here.I am open to networking and working with all investors and bird dogs.
