hahaDriving for dollars is a a great way to find messed up houses.Advertising works.Get a list of code enforcement violations.Train bird dogs to find deals for you.Market your services to insurance companies.Make friends with the local fire dept.

Bird dogging is illegal in some areas just check your local laws but its really hard to enforce its like speeding they rarely pull u over for going 3 mph over the speed limit

I did deals all over New England.I'd be interested to hear if you're walking in with it in-hand or if its being requested when you present and offer and if its being requested then by whom and does it also accompany a deposit.Sorry to jump in on your thread with this but I'd like to know.If its helpful to this convo I don't think we ever made a decision with the client on whether or not to accept an offer or negotiate based on the depth of the buyer's pockets it always had to do with how much the asset was on the books for weighted against the potential for further loss.

I would be happy to bird-dog you some properties that would cash flow if you wish...

Are two birds in the bush better than two in the hand?

There are reasons that birds of a feather flock together.

Offer to "bird dog" for them, bringing them a deal and instead of getting a "finders fee," tell them you would like to learn from them.I suggest that you read "The Richest Man in Babylon", a short book easily readable in less than an hour, and see how he 'got started.'
