, Im getting into bird-dogging deals for 2 investors.Im doing actively (parallel to my full time job) this at 2 levels for 2 different types of investors.A small level investor friend of mine, whom I trust, but have never worked with yet.A larger level investor who I convinced that I could bring value to him by stating the numbers on a deal I had found but did not have the out put for.

She swears the dog is nice and it's the old owners fault for being mean to him!

What the seller was really concerned about was that his dog was taken care of because he couldn't take him with him. 

I don't have a dog in the fight, but after really looking for pro/con arguments, I think that too many people glorify it as the solution to all their (and the worlds) problems.

I know house hacking is a good way to get started, but we have 4 dogs (mainly large dogs) and a horse and there's no way we could live in town (I am trying to sell the horse).

Sell the business and cash out.25) Bird Dog for InvestorsLike a hunter’s canine friend, a “bird dog” in business is someone who produces leads for others.

You can bird dog deals for wholesalers.

I think most mentors are looking for bird dogs. in exchange for teaching you the ropes the want you to bring them deals as you learn.there may be some that are in the philanthropy mode.. but I suspect not many

@Kyle J.If the person who found the deal accepted a bird dog fee instead of locking the property up with a contract and assigning it, does the bird dog fee show up on the closing settlement statement?

Since you have a full-time job, consider bird-dogging for the dominant wholesaler in your market.
