Rick Harmon I like your style.
Though, I don't think I'm at the point yet to attend local bar functions ha
What is in it for the probate attorneys that I can provide them?

Rick Harmon Phil Z. do you think it would be strategic to collect all the attorneys in the probates and select maybe the top three to try and develop a relationship with?
At that point they could recommend me if the owner just wants to get rid of the house quickly.
Thoughts?

Thanks!
Post: Bird Dog Position > Take a picture, write an address, and get paid? Legal?

Wayne Brooks and Mary B. would this work:
1) Bird dog finds property, takes pictures, finds out basic information about the house
2) I negotiate price and get the house under contract
3) I find a buyer and assign the contract for purchase
4) The deal closes
5) 24-48hrs later I pay the bird dog for the photos and information

I've read a decent amount this morning about what is and isn't legal for bird dogs, but I still haven't got the direct answer I'm looking for...
Here is the question: (Indiana)
Can I post an Ad on craigslist looking to hire a part time 'Market Surveyor' with job duties that include: Taking a picture of a distressed property, writing down the address and observations (without stepping onto the property or speaking with the owner), and submitting that information to my email.
The BD will not be interacting in any way with the Home Owner... which means they won't be getting the house under contract.
Here is what I found in the Indiana RESPA:
1) Code 25-34.1-3-2 "no person shall, for consideration, sell, buy, trade, exchange, option, lease, rent, manage, list, or appraise real estate or negotiate or offer to perform any of those acts in Indiana or with respect to real estate situated in Indiana, without a license." (Does this mean we can't even wholesale in Indy?)
2) This is a motion again www.IndyBuySell.com which tells what you SHOULD NOT do when marketing in Indiana: http://www.in.gov/pla/files/IREC11.34ChamperCD.pdf
*I Understand nobody in response to this question is providing me legal advice and I should seek out an attorney for proper instruction*

Hello Hoosiers! (and nomads)
I wanted to connect with as many of you as possible and find out what your plan is within the Indiana market.
Please tell:
1) What city you live in:
2) What county/city you are working (REI):
3) What you are currently/planning to do in REI:
4) What do you feel would help you in REI today: (ie Private Money, Training, Mentor, etc)
1) My wife and I live in Noblesville.
2) We are looking to primarily work the Hamilton County and Indianapolis markets.
3) We are wholesaling/rehabbing with lead gen through probates and absentee owners. We are also looking to connect private lenders/investors with "opportunities" in the State.
4) I feel like 34hrs in the day would help... Oh! And building onto our network is something that we always try to do!
I'm very interested in connecting with people in the following cities (00:01:25hr or less from where I live): Bloomington, Muncie, Anderson, Lafayette, Kokomo, Lawrence, Columbus, Fishers, Carmel, Greenwood, Marion, Noblesville, West Lafayette, Franklin, Logansport, Plainfield, Westfield, Zionsville, McCordsville, and of course Indianapolis!

Daniel Fisher I would agree. I feel a sense of urgency myself to buy a home, in fear that the rates will jump much higher!
Patrick L. How do you feel 6% will affect your business? Lifestyle?

So the 30yr mortgage rate went from 3.93% to 4.46% over the weekend! Holy cow!
Could that be the reason Mortgage rate applications fell 3%?
It would make sense!
How do you feel this will affect REI? Buying and Holding?
