Bird dogs make $500

Hey guys and gals. So when ever I have spare time, I drive around neighborhoods to find vacant houses.  These are boarded up usually and quite raggedy.  Sometimes these come from inherited properties after a loved one has died or a tenant simply ditching the house.

Let me tell you a little about what I do. I'm a wholesaler. "What is that?"  I'm glad you asked. I simply find vacant properties or people in need of selling their house.  Once I get in contact with the owners, I find out if they are willing to sell the house at a discount. We agree upon a price on paper. I then flip the contract to a buyer that purchases the house. Let's say a house is worth 100k fixed up.  It's need a little tlc. The owner's husband/wife has passed and they can't afford to fix the house. That's when I come in. When I speak with them, we agree that I can purchase the house for 40k. I find a buyer that's willing to buy that property. I'll sell that contract for 45k. That's 5k for me, for finding the property for them!

Some investors don't have the time to drive around in different neighborhoods looking for beatup houses. This is where YOU come in. This is called bird dogging. Another word for it is a property scout. They find beatup houses for investors. I'm looking for a few myself. I'm looking for a few people who can refer me and my buyers to raggedy property.  These are distressed properties. They will have high grass, mail piled up, just signs that no one occupies the home. One important thing though, please, no war zones. These are areas where every other house is vacant. A lot of investors will not invest in these type of homes.  Try to find descent areas, where there is some kind of development around. If ever you are interested in this kind of work, these are the steps I need you to take to get started.

-Find vacant houses (or For sale by owner. No property with a realty sign in front please!) You may simple know someone who needs to sale their home

-Gather information (street,address,zip)

-Please take pictures of the properties. Also take pics of each side of house facing the street so to better sense what type of neighborhood we are looking at. (3 will be good)

-Once you get that information, send your name & email along with the lead.

 

I will track down the sellers, talk with them to see if they are interested in selling. If they are, and one of our buyers close on the deal, you will receive $500.  This is an easy way to make a little cash on the side.   My email is [email protected]. Are you interested? You can start today

I am interested in this and there is several properties that i know of here in brazoria county. I have a few questions though.
How would i be paid?
How long does it normally take to flip a house?
Does the property have to be a residental or can it be commericial?
