I've taken the time to get pretty comfortable and understand all the processes with wholesaling.

If someone has had a successful experience with the “Bird Dog” process, please feel free to contact me or provide your advice via this forum.Thank you

I will be sure to keep you updated through the process!

I know it's a time consuming process but it's all I have to work with as of now and gives me a good estimate.Looking forward to seeing other's responses!

If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process. 

Here at Carrot we see about 30k real estate investing leads a month come in from our clients 100% online so it's been cool seeing the process that is working for people.

Typically a short sale is a process by which the seller can unload the property with the banks permission knowing they (bank) aren't going to get what they're owed. 

I have a question about a situation where a renter has moved out during the close process.

At this point, I do not trust the seller's agent when she said the tenant would move out because he is in the process of closing on a house.

Bottom line, it takes me 12-15 months to finish a project from point of land acquisition in my area (King County, WA).You should ask around with people who are familiar with the process to see what timelines to expect.
