I'm looking to pick up wholesaling and bird dogging in Eastern Queens and all of Long Island.

As the other posters have said if a bird dog brings me a lead, if it isn't a qualified lead it is worthless.

It's complicated and has some serious difficulties but if you are thriving in the military and not a "bird" then you'll be able to apply the lessons learned there to the civilian world and landlording without a problem.

I am struggling with my financial decision making so that i can retire in 10 years and become a snow bird.

I've picked up a couple of houses from flyering parking lots but after being chased off enough lots, I've come to the conclusion that this is not a stable way to market as it again is not "legal" and I don't feel right doing it.

He doesn't have a job so you would have to chase him around until he found one and then garnish his wages.

If it is a REO then you're likely chasing your tail if the bank hasn't listed it on the MLS yet.

You need to ensure that you have reserve funds so that if something does happen (and even repairs do happen), you will not go into foreclosure chasing good money after bad.If you are underwater on the property, have you considered a short sale?

I'm starting off bird dogging just to get the feet wet so if anyone can give me some advice out would be greatly appreciated.
