As a small business owner of a dog grooming company, it is my aim to find ways to diversify my profits into stable investment portfolios.

My first thought it that if you want to start out wholesaling or bird-dogging you should read every blog post and podcast on BP about wholesaling.

I am in new territory and looking to partner up on a deal.  I have a house in West Bridgewater on 1.5 acres 3 bed 1 bath in good shape (Kitchen and bath allegedly was re-done 5 years ago).  Owner is the very definitio...

We have came to an agreement of me finding a deal and given a bird dog fee while I shadow everything he does to close the deal

I wrote an article about bird dogging search the blog articles for it there's some good info

Proactive is definitely the best... especially when you're risking collateral damage.From an investment perspective though... if you can extend the life of anything, you'll have huge savings... for example, I had carpets that were trashed, but I found tenants with dogs that didn't care because I waved the pet deposit... and I got another year of life out of the carpets.  

Or, see if you could help at a local real estate agency or do some bird dogging for an active wholesaler in your area.

And who has produced the best leads that have resulted in deals? (Mail men/women, contractors,etc.)

Everyone and their dog wants a home at 70-80% of the value.Doing that caused me to lose 2 homes not too long ago as I was trying to get an "acceptable" cap rate, when in reality, the area I was looking at just didn't have those fabulous high cap rates to begin with.
