Currrently trying to get into the REI business and believe bird dogging or having a mentor would be the best way to go.

You could also bird dog for him if you do not want to mess around with structuring deals and what not.

But we KNOW the seller behavior is to call our LOCAL PHONE NUMBER.

We’ve been bit by “that bug” :)We live in northern Maryland with two kids and two dogs on an acre of land, about ten minutes from civilization.

I guess my long-winded question is this: Assuming the homeowners I spoke to are on the level, is this sort of penalty/behavior even allowed or legal from an HOA?

@Shawn Thom I generally totally agree with that and I would assume that kind of behavior of most tenant's dogs.

The seller's agent states that the existing tenant would like to stay on a month to month basis, but has no application from them, they have a small dog (the place wreaks of urine), no security deposit, the owner is the manager without any maintenance records, and the rent is a good $200 month below market.

One on line like biggerpockets but another is at Savannah's local REIAs where you'll meet friends who will give free advice an buyers who you might bird dog for to get started.

If the comparables are 30k you got yourself a dog.

A bird dog brought me the property he saw a for rent sign out and it was pretty distressed looking.
