I bought my first investment property from my county's tax auction last month and come to find out, there are people living there with multiple dogs.

It's also a dog's life - many of the really good money managers started with those infamous 100 hour + weeks, and I know firsthand from friends in the industry how demanding it can be.  

Magically her dog came out and I took that opportunity to walk back up to the door.

We have also used mail carriers as bird-dogs to tip us off on any empty properties, or ones that look like someone is moving / away for a prolonged period.

Two SFHs detached (she did not want to be in an attached duplex), plenty of yard for her dogs, and she had to get 95% owner financing.

Tips for someone interested in becoming a birddog?

They want to make sure there are no "dangerous" dogs on the premises.

Also, I love RE networking too!

By using these words it evicts everyone that is in POSSESSION of the home including the dog!
