In order to "bird dog" correctly you have to have some idea of what to look for. Do you know what you're looking for? And who are you gonna send the lead too once you find one? 2 big questions. Most referral fees are only paid if the lead actually turns out to be a deal, so there is no guarantee your gonna start making money right away.
I would pick an area of town that you are familiar with, preferably one that has some new construction around or parts of town that more favorable. Start looking for vacant houses, boarded up homes, front lawns that look like they haven't been cut in months etc etc etc......then you need to find the owners of those properties which isn't always easy. Who do you know in your network that has a home or property that might be interested in selling? I would start right there.
