Hello,
I am very keen to get into real estate investing and I have just completed reading 0 – 130 properties.
I think at this point in time I am very time wise and money poor so I just want to start getting in at ‘bird-dog’ status.
If anyone could help me out with any more information relevant to this I would appreciate it.
Thankyou very much,
Dave.Hi there,
Bird-dogging is like a small on-spec freelance business. It’s like you do the work and get paid if someone likes your work, and if they can see value and quality in it.
Things to ask yourself are:
a) what is my area of expertise i,e, perhaps a type of property or an area that you can concentrate on getting to know backwards.
b) how do you get clients, and who are your clients? What do your clients want? Cater to that – you are offering a service.
c) how do you gain your client’s trust? (especially if you are not an investor yourself)
d) how do you know you are getting a good deal?
e) can you answer your client’s questions?
anyway, that’s a good starting point.

To be really successful in helping others as a birddog I would suggest you do the property thing yourself a few times to go through all the hassles and dramas some deal cause you so you can really relate successfully to your clients and their needs.
Just a thought.
Hi Mini, love ya.

Don’t sweat the small stuff,and it’s all small stuff!!
I actually agree with what DD said, but I didn’t want to give out negativity – and no problems are insurmountable.
I know the reasons why *our* clients trust and use us, but I don’t know the reasons *your* future clients will trust and use you. That bit is up to you. But as Steve says, you make money solving people’s problems.BTW DD is also a bird dog specialising in the Queensland area. i would recommend that for people who have a bit more to spend (Q’land is more exxy than NZ at entry level) and don’t want to purchase overseas, to speak to DD. I have used him myself. Why? He is a specialist in an area I am unfamiliar with and can answer all my investor-type questions. Also, i trust him because he is an investor himself too. And without giving away personal information about someone else on the net, he is a Successful Investor. (in capitals!) Well connected, extensive knowledge of the market, very experienced, integity, and all the things bird dogs I know who are making a success of it are.

I can’t help you to become getting in at ‘bird-dog’ status as I don’t have experience. But keen to buy your deals if you can find positive/11 second formula deals.

Gama – not everything is about the 11 sec. formula. It is just a guide not a ruke so don’t limit yourself to this. Not even Steve does as he’s got a new formula out that deletes the 11 sec. equation.
Kind Regards,
