Bird Dog Hand E Book
What or who is a “bird dog”?
In real estate, a bird dog is a person who finds leads for wholesale and retail
buyers (investors) of real estate, much like a hunting dog retrieves birds and
brings them back to the hunter.
How do I become a “bird dog”?
This Bird Dog Hand E Book is designed to help individuals who want to earn money
through the process of finding distressed properties.
The procedure can be quite simple. You provide information to this web site:
www.yes2wholesalehomes.com where other web surfing investors or owner/occupants
can pay you for the list of properties you have located that are for sale or
rent.
How do I get paid as a “bird dog”?
Some investors may pay you $3.00-$10.00 per lead for information on a property.
The majority of investing companies or individuals will simply pay in a range of
$500.00 and up for each lead that turns into a purchase.
What about an investor using my lead and not paying me?
Some bird dogs fear the investor may steal the lead without paying for their
list. On our web site, www.yes2wholesalehomes.com, we leave the home address out
of the listing so the investor must contact you directly for that information.
Most investors are smart enough to realize that stealing a lead or deal would
result in your discontinuing generating leads and ultimately cost them a lot
more money in the future through lost deals. Once an investor’s reputation of
being dishonest becomes known, further damage to their business would be
inevitable.
What kind of information do I need to provide?
As a bird dog, you need to provide a potential investor with relative
information about the property such as the owner’s name, address of the home in
question and address of the owner if they do not live there. A picture may be
required and of course the owner’s phone number is helpful.
What kind of properties am I looking for?
As a bird dog, you may be wondering what kind of properties to look for that an
investor may be interested in. The types of homes you should look for include:
 |
For Sale By Owner (FSBO). Look for signs on actual property
not ads in the newspaper. Once a property is listed in the paper,
an investor may already have the property listed in his data base.

How do I get started as a Bird Dog?
Getting started is as easy as getting “out in the field” and watching your
neighbourhoods. Once you find a property, you are ready to place your ad in “Add
your listing” on our web site www.yes2wholesalehomes.com. It’s free for a
limited time. Then you sit back and wait for someone to contact you regarding
your listing and you sell your information directly to them.
That’s all there is to it. Good luck and happy “bird dogging”!
