I never used a "Bird Dog" before and was wondering if anyone had a "How To" compiled they might be willing to share.

Some of the sites allow you also to conduct a birds eye view.

I chose Cincinnati because I'm from Ohio and at that time my sister lived there so two birds one stone, I was able to get a little more information about the city and I would go visit family.  

FOR THE CREATORIf I were actually fix and flipping, that app would be amazing... quick and easy bird dog app.

We always have to kill 2 birds with one stone. 

Once you find that, you'll be able to blaze a path in the right direction and BP can help you with that.Example:If you want to flip houses, but can't swing a hammer, you better be able to assemble a great team.If you have time, but no discernible skills, being a bird dog for investors could yield you a few thousand dollars while you learn your team building skills.If you have money, and want to deploy it for a return, you can be a private lender with gap funding or even flip funding.The point is there are several ways to make a great living in this industry and the people that do it best tailor it to their particular skill set.One more example.  

I think one more point is really know your fundamentals and have a birds eye view of the larger picture.

@Jeff Byrne Good fortune favors the Bold while birds of the feather flock together and eagles fly alone. =)

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

You could wholesale, bird dog, buy and hold, rehab or a combination of them all.
