i was wondering where do you birddogs find the good deals. like pre-forclosures and sub-to. could you please share your secrest. also if you would like to birddog for me let me know..
I was at Best Buy with an investor friends who looking at purchasing a new computer. While I was there I saw this young lady in I would say her late twenties who had a name tag on showing she was a Yahoo representative. She was there selling Yahoo's program.
Making sure I hadn't lost my touch I approached her (no not that kind of approach) and asked how sales were going, we started a conversation my leading question was "do you like doing this" she replied that it was OK but she would like to get into something more challenging. Then she asked me what I did for a living, going right where I was leading her.
I replied I am in Real Estate but not a Realtor or agent, I said do you see those infomercials on TV with the people selling real estate courses, she said she had, let's face it who hasn't. I said I have a manual on how to do creative real estate investing. She said isn't that whole business an MLM scam?
My reply was after figuring her pier age group (divorce prone) was "Let me explain it this way two people are getting a divorce one of the spouses has already moved out of the house, the spouse in the house cannot afford the payments because they both were working to make the payments.
Now the spouse in the house can't stay because they can't make the payments this is where I come in I help this person by purchasing the house using creative real estate methods and in a couple of years my buyer re-finances the house thereby eliminating the problem and in most cases save the persons credit Isn't this better than waiting for the Sheriff to come an evict them in front of their neighbors and friends?
Here it comes she replied "I have a friend in this exact position can you help her?" So I got the lead and will see what I can do to help her friend.
Is everyone out there telling everyone they meet what they do, no direct mail, no I Buy Houses signs, no print ads, just hello let's talk and up pops a lead.

A little story that happened this weekend.
I was at Best Buy with an investor friends who looking at purchasing a new computer. While I was there I saw this young lady in I would say her late twenties who had a name tag on showing she was a Yahoo representative. She was there selling Yahoo's program.
Making sure I hadn't lost my touch I approached her (no not that kind of approach) and asked how sales were going, we started a conversation my leading question was "do you like doing this" she replied that it was OK but she would like to get into something more challenging. Then she asked me what I did for a living, going right where I was leading her.
