Are bird dogs still an asset to wholesalers or real estate investors?

They had dogs that they apparently never let out or cleaned up after, the worst smell I have ever smelt and they smoked in there also.

A letter from you highlighting the positive features of the new home you find attractive (bigger yard for my dog, another bathroom for my teenager, etc), paired with evidence that you did in fact historically owner occupy for a year (old utility bills, old mortgage statements, old paystubs, etc, addressed to your then-current residence work), would make it pretty rock solid, but this is still ultimately an underwriter judgement call.Because preapprovals are not property specific, they can never incorporate this, so it's on you to set yourself up for success on this front.

Trip wires , booby traps , armed guards , big bad dog  or  dont install appliances until the house is done , then change locks and set up cameras . 

Anyone familiar with snap flipping, (bird dogging)?

i briefly had a job with some investors. i was the bird dog but they also showed me how to look up basic info on a property. they problem is all i had to my disposal was google and the free info i was able to come across. this wasnt too helpful because the info i found was often outdated. the investors paid for a subscription to websites like property shark to get all the info they needed on a house.so my question is what are the websites/ resources you use to research a property?

An easy way to get some capital is start networking with other investors, seek to work for them in your spare time for free to learn from them, and bird dog deals to them to make some side profit.

@Christopher Phillips Possibly a dead dog@John Leavelle Thanks for that.

So for this old dog my "good deal" looks different than it might for some fellow BPers.
