How can I team up with an investor as a bird dog?

Question

Hello

I would like to buy an investment property but do not have the funds to put towards

a down payment or to work with a private lender. I do work but everything goes towards

my everyday bills. How could I get started otherwise? I have read and accumulated so

much real estate information and just want to try it hands on. Any suggestions?

It will be very hard to get started with no money whatsoever.. Wholesaling is a great option but even that needs some marketing capital to get you going. My advice would be to save up as much as possible. Get a second job for 6 months if you have to. Once you say about 6k saved up then you can start a marketing campaign via direct mail. Spend 1k a month over 6 months and don't give up on it until the 6 months is complete and you should receive a few deals out of it! If that doesn't work for you then you can always drive for dollars on weekends and look for houses that are abandoned looking or in disrepair then look up the owners address on the tax assessor site and write him/ her a letter stating that you would like to purchase their house if they are interested in selling. Good luck and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
