bird dogging

Is bird dogging helpful for a wholesaler?

[Shawn Mcenteer]

I know a lot of people believe wholesaling is the eaisest way into real eatate. But I've come to the conclusion that one must know a lot about real estate in order to be successful.  I feel comfortable driving for dollars, finding out if the house is vacant, seeking the owners address, and mailing a letter to them. But everything after that is foreign territory to me

I have come to the conclusion that one must leave their comfort zone in order to be successful in real estate.  Keep moving forward and when you hit a wall ask your questions or present your concern to the forums for assistance.  I think bird dogging could be a step backwards in your scenario because you already know how to find properties so why find them and give it away?  Will the person you are bird dogging for teach you how to get a property under contract and find a buyer?
