@Carolina E.I've had the same tenants in the house for almost 3 years...a couple with 2 dogs.$620 month plus utilities....some of my best tenants.

Has anyone had any luck hiring outside reps or bird dogs to find deals and sign up short sale sellers?

Is this an illegal activity for the wholesaler, the mail man/bird dog, or both?

I think we understand your role in the process (it seems you're a bird-dog for the rehabbing company), but it's unclear what information you're trying to get.You asked how other manage all the paperwork.

The house looked spectacular and the tenant sat in the yard with his dog - keeping goofy at bay.I didn't mention before that they are breaking the lease to buy their own home so they're pretty motivated.Getting so much volume from Craigslist I pulled the ad pending processing applications I just received.YMMV, we have little unemployment here and the rental market is rocking.Life is good so far.

Of course not.The big dogs reach their level of success because they know what to spend their time on.

You are now just an unlicensed bird dog.

I realized that in my current situation that I will need to bird dog for an investor.

Bird Dogging?

Point is, do not call a "cat" a "dog" just because it barked.
