Theses:
One needs to be acceptable about anything one does on-line, for instance did you know that being a bird-dog is really a “real estate assistant” and one needs to have money to invest and be able to negotiate a deal and find deals that the agent cannot find, to be any value to them.
Marketing scam
Real estate gurus us this term to refer to ones they recruit to hunt properties for them. “The no money” routine, “As people begin to realize “wholesaling” does indeed take money, there needs to be another avenue for people to imply “no money needed”, and that seems to be this whole bird dogging concept.” However that is not so. One will need to invest money.
There is money needed, and Risk
Some sites will claim there is no money and no risk, but do research to make sure they are telling you the truth. Their semantics game is real slick. Do not take anyone’s word for it. Look into it yourself and make an informed choice.
Conclusion
There is no way to enter into real estate and make money without spending money. Unfortunately, sending real estate investors properties already listed on the MLS and then trying to collect a finder’s fee is going to be quite the daunting task. I’ve seen some people say they pay their bird dogs to go and take pictures and such of properties; however, I’d argue that is the incorrect use of the “definition” of a bird dog. I’d say paying someone for that sort of thing is more like a “real estate assistant” job, not “bird dog”. The point I hope I’ve driven home is that if you are planning on being a bird dog, you might as well plan on becoming a wholesaler since the only way you will ever be able to become a quality bird dog is by using wholesaler techniques. Despite what those trying to sell courses may say, there is no such thing as an “easy – no money down- real estate strategy”… bird dogging included.
