Hi All,
BirdDogBot is a program that runs on Windows only. I use MAC so it took me a while to find my old PC and load it up.
I purchased the software looking for some help finding better deals for a flipper that I represent. I help him secure the deal and then re-list it after he re-habs.
Disappointment with the overall results. The idea is decent. The software sets up searches by zip code, price points, bedrooms, etc. Just like a MLS search for a client. The databases in the research tab include the following: BidSelect.com, FSBO.com, HomePath.com, HomeSteps.com, HUDHomeStore.com, Realtor.com.
I put in 3 zip codes for my client and out of 207 properties analyzed, it found 5 deals. 4 of the 5 deals were not in the zip codes specified in the search. (2 were not in the same State !) The one deal that hit the zip code ended up being a mobile home.
The idea of the software uses the $/sqft asking price and compares it to Zillow market value.
So, for the $100 a month fee, better to pay human help that will search for you, if you do not have the time.
