You now have the ability to do it again versus the dog of a property keeping you on the sidelines for years to get out of it.Reality is you pay for what you get.

They may be willing to pay you a few thousand dollars just to bird-dog the deal for them and they'll take assignment and make it their deal.  

They're just looking for bird dogs, or to sell you a magical RE guru course/mentor program.

My best deals were found while literally 'walking the dog' and I put these together with just myself and a title company.

@Brian BellewFeel free to send me a message or ask any questions as that is what I do bird dog for my investor clients.

I am having an extremely difficult time finding any deals on the RMLS (due to cash offer w/ no contingency people running around buying everything) Does anyone know of any good wholesalers, bird dogs or the like that I could get in touch with?

As for charging them, I bill my tenants for pet waste cleanup when they let their dog deficit in the yard, because it's in my lease.  

You could try your hand at "bird dogging" for some flippers in your local REIA group.

Augustine, Florida investor: is there currently a demand for property scouts/bird dogs? 

I've gotten into a situation where I am using a few different realtors depending on the location of the property, how urgent I want to see it and realtors availability.
