Big dog on a chain, so noone can get close without the squatter first taking the dog. 

Bad behavior 

Just wondering what are the typical fees that wholesalers and/or bird dogs charge their cash buyers?

Some need to hit bottom before changing behavior.

I'm looking for wholesalers and Bird Dogs in the San Antonio area.  

One of our tenant X has a dog, who he leaves chained up outside, to what I know from the other neighbors, about 95% of the time, even when he is home.    

If you have company policy's spelled out in an employee handbook explaining acceptable behavior along with the procedures for dealing with infractions.

We then started keeping our dog food (which was in the house) in a sealed container and asked our tenants to do the same. 

People with big dogs stay a long time. 

That's a good starting point and after a few projects with an investor, you will learn enough to become an investor your self.VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: books, video ,seminars will provide you with motivation and tools to make it in the RE game but the best method will always be learning hands on and with someone to guide.I'm in the NYC market which isn't the best place to start learning so I had to learn fast and perfection in order to compete with these top dogs.
