I love real estate investing.

@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 love real estate and enjoy the process.

Every once in a while, these dog vacant 4plexes pop up in Oakland, and with market rents where they are, the back side of the project can look pretty good.

I have also been giving him food money and trying to employ him cleaning as the prior tenant had a dog and did not use a clean cloth in over 10 yrs so we are scrubbing everything down so hopefully the paint will stick.

.), and offer interest at prime plus 1.You can always ask for cash back at settlement or for the seller to pay all closing.Careful not to negotiate too hard, just get the items that are important...... like equity or cash flow.People like to do business with people they like, build a report, let the seller know that your goal is to earn a reasonable profit, that you are planning for self employment, or retirement or you just love real estate.People like to talk about themselves, ask about their hobby, their profession.
