BIRD DOGS & TEAM BUILDING

Let’s Start with the Definition of a Bird-Dog:

A “Bird-Dog” is a person that identifies a good Real Estate opportunity based upon the criteria set forth from the investors that he hunts for. A Bird-dogger can work for more than one investor at at time as long as they clear guidelines within the criteria for each individual that they work for/with.

By the same token,  Bird-dogs can fulfill  a range of various tasks, directly proportioned to the agreed upon salary, fee/commission.

Now, this is a great way to get invloved without risk or money and the Bird-dog stands to make a profit strictly based on having a great eye, interacting and following the investors criteria.

The Bird-dog puts the property under contract with the sole intent of assigning that contract for a fee to a rehabber to repair and resell.

In today’s real estate market there is a huge opportunity for those new bird-dog investors.

I do recommend that you have at least these 2 fundamentals in your toolbox to be successful at this real estate venture.

I find that a Flip Camera is unmistakenly neccessary to digitally document the properties that you find and to accompany verbal notations about that property for the investors that you work with. The Flip Video Cam allows you to work smartet not harder and when you couple it with this baby- Skype…you save a ton of time and gas!

You can download the Flip Video CamShots to your computer, make a free Skype appt with your investor(s) and show them everything that you have in real time.

You would also have sent any other required data ahead. Gone are the days when a Bird-dogger has to meet the investor in person. Use these new and dynamic tools to make it easier than it;s ever been

A few things you must know to be successful at real estate bird dogging:

1. How to Find Investors
2. Locate Sellers
3. Present the Information
