I could say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, besides that, I'd ask the BK attorney what the time line was, it shouldbe approved by the court fairly quickly, depends on how things move there, but..The second note holder wasn't notified of the sale or the BK, or both?

Birds of a feather flock together.

Bird dogs (property finders) get finders fees.I won't even answer your third question, because you're not ready.Good luck!

You're looking for a needle in a haystack property for a buyer who may well not perform and if the deal does happen, you're not going to get a commission check at closing.This form of unlicensed brokering is often called "bird dogging".

-Visit local REI clubs;-Word of mouth, it's amazing how your network grows when you let people know what you do;- Might not be the group you are looking to work with, but the courthouse steps will have investors;- Perhaps sharing deals when you first start out will give you exposure to other bird doggers/wholesalers lists;- Advertise on CL, in your local papers etc. that you have houses you are moving on to investors, and to call/e-mail for information.Creative thinking is the name of the game, It'd be something fun to dabble in but I have other things to occupy my mind; hope that kick started a few thought processes.Andrew

I would even pay a good highly recommended licensed contractor to accompany you for the day.

That's why I figure +$50/mo. or $600/yr is a wash (at best) if I have to re-paint.Plus I always consider the risk of the unknown with a new tenant - that's my bird in the hand argument.

When thses birds of a feather flock together you can be assured you're being laughed at.
