Reconsider you Anti-Fido PolicyIn Seattle and in many other cities, a dog is not just a pet, it’s family.

My J Scott books are dog-eared and well-worn. 

Easy: Mislead the seller with bogus clauses such as 1. subject to partner approval (your partner can be your dog)2. subject to 60 day inspection  (they are tied up doing lots of inspections)3. subject to financing (just be sure and don't try and get it)If you use enough weasel clauses you won't lose a dime, will have raised the sellers hopes, taken the property off the market leaving REAL HONEST POTENTIAL BUYERS behind, and started developing a reputation (maybe not a good one).

I want to connect with investor friendly RE brokers/agents, wholesalers/bird dogs, fix/flip investors and rehabbers doing business in Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Solano County or Sacramento counties. 

Find the dead rodent (dogs maybe?)

Jamie lives in west Knoxville with his wife Johnna of 12 years, his son Blake who , daughter Laila and their dog Gracie. 

You might start out as a bird dog at first and bring them some solid leads and take a small finders commission to build the relationship, and then ask to work with them on a deal you bring them to learn hands on. 

You won't pay I need it now homeowner prices.Or, you can buy out of state and get taken to the cleaners on almost every repair bill you pay for because you're the out-of-state rich dude buying up local property and nobody gives a dog turn on the sidewalk care about you. 

@Peter GroteThe majority of the investors I know have people known as "bird dogs" who run around town looking for diamonds in the rough.

They can help you compile market data quickly, educate you on the market and also bird dog for investments that fit your criteria.
