I may have found someone I can bird dog for. I want to bird dog for this investor. The problem is I work a lot during the week and I am not all that good with making some random trip across unknown areas. Would I be wrong for bird dogging property off the internet? Or would I have to do some traveling to find these homes no matter where they are located? I suggest using the internet as an option since I don’t have a lot of time to get out and find these homes.
Your investor won’t care one bit how you found the deal. If the numbers work, that’s all that matters. Work smarter, not harder.
I am not a big fan of working harder. Anyway that’s good enough.
Most investors want their bird dogs to do more than just find a property online and/or offline and send it off to the investor.
They expect you to know what a good deal is. They should give you their criteria and you find what they want based on the criteria.
Sometimes they expect you to know the ARV.repair costs,etc. If you want to make some serious money as a bird dog you have to go above and beyond for your investor.
Your word in this biz is your bond, as they say. That being the case you need to physically see the properties and the areas. The buyer will definitely have questions that need to be answered and will count on your advice in this. Those questions can only be answered if you are well familiar with the property
