Funny timing too--my wife had one of the morning news shows on today as we were getting the kids ready and they played a clip of cell phone video of Grant Cardone talking about his experience being on a plane that had an engine go out due to a bird strike.  

We buy daily and would love to see what you end up with or would be happy to pay a bird dog fee for you.

I think the next step, in using Uber drivers as Bird Dogs is probably the best idea!  

These two factors, along with the tenants' thermostat setting probably account for most of the variance.The other thing to look at from a weatherization perspective, beyond insulation, doors and windows, is looking for air leaks from penetrations of the top plates by wiring and plumbing, outlets, soffits, plumbing and chimney chases, etc.  

Please add your comments or questions by replying and maybe I can go into more depth later.First, let me disclose that I am both a Realtor and an investor (rehabber, flipper, wholesaler, bird-dog, landlord, etc.)  

Seller financing is a rare bird anymore.

San Diego is a great town, loved it, even opened a real estate office there in a prime spot by the Shadow Ridge Country Club area in Vista ( It was ground floor time) and another in a little one room setup in La Mesa, and lived near Bird Rock.

I'm fairly new to the investment game.  As a wholesaler, I've learned to reach out to other wholesalers to attempt to close deals.  I've been fortunate to find buyers, who actually depend on me to find them properties...

@Elizabeth Colegrove  some banks go off of freddie rules for their underwriting or adopt certain GSE's rules however if you find a banker like the place I am connected with where we sell direct to the GSE's we can "peg," the loan to a specific program.Big box banks like Wells, BofA, Chase, Citi, will not be able to do that, atleast that I am aware of.
