Through a combination of walking my dog through my target neighborhoods to identify distressed/vacant homes, and combing through the pre-foreclosure list for homes that meet my investment strategy, I've got a pretty meager list. 

Previous dog was a husky great dog.

I love the podcasts- (And so does my dog because I usually take him for a long walk and stay out until the episode is over!)

Most of these are attempts to find bird dogs by investors.

And immediate past that includes the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.It is entirely possible (and even likely) that as the youngest workers finally get on their feet and start to catch up financially, they will hear the siren song of the suburbs just like all those before them.I have no real dog in this fight.  

Your liability goes much deeper than most newbies realize, even deeper than some of the old dogs may think who have never had some issue.

@Dan Brewer @Brandon Hicks   seller carry back  you have a seller who is desperate to unload a dog.. happens all the time. 

I think to begin with, I'll start bird-dogging, which from what I understand is searching for deals to give to investors and/or real estate brokers.  

Currently, my bird dogs bring me the lead after initially gathering information, I decide whether or not to make the offer, and negotiate the deal.  

Trying to decide do I want to consider the various questions such as, partnering with someone, bird-dogging, mentoring etc.
