Sneaky little quote feature, eh?

A 'bird dog' is a 'finder'... and while there are clear cases of advertisers overstepping their bounds into brokerage (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/il-court-of-appeals/1546961.html) there are also (many not so clear) cases where a 'finder' is not a broker (http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2010/2010-20104.html).I would encourage anyone to browse the last link for 'finder' and also to look at the section 'Quality and Quantity of Services', 'Fiduciary Duty', 'Differences in Entitlement to Fee'.

I wrote up my entire experience, every single issue I had, if you want to see it. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/566...I would encourage you to continue to share about your experience online at biggerpockets, so other prospective buyers think twice before doing business with ABC or Maverick Investors. 

This is encouraging to read.

I totally agree with that and encourage you to also take the course and get your RE license.  

Paypal is an easy way to encourage online payments.

Then in the spreadsheet I added columns to calculate what percent of ARV the all-in price comes to (i.e. the "70% rule" number — that should have a name but I don't recall seeing one), the GRM, the "2% rule" number (which also need a name), cap rate, etc.Another nice feature is that if you add new fields to your form they are inserted into your spreadsheet between the previously existing form columns and any columns you added.

I was also encouraged to look into MACU's 90% down program for investments, so I'm looking into that and seeing if the numbers make sense with that loan.  

This is exactly my strategy because it will do two things for me. 1) It will give me income to eat. 2) It encourages me to create a deal pipeline machine.

@Daniel Okorie thanks for the encouraging info.
