Just from browsing the properties that are listed on B.P.

I started browsing redfin and zillow for listings to try to get some ideas but really don't know what to be on the hunt for. 

https://investclearly.com/sponsors/ashcroft-capital i browsed through this and some of the replys of some of the companies I know well and its full of schills  I would not trust ( personally) any feedback on that site..

International capital doesn’t go shopping for land the way retail investors browse MLS.

You just can't browse listings to find a buy. 

A 'bird dog' is a 'finder'... and while there are clear cases of advertisers overstepping their bounds into brokerage (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/il-court-of-appeals/1546961.html) there are also (many not so clear) cases where a 'finder' is not a broker (http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2010/2010-20104.html).I would encourage anyone to browse the last link for 'finder' and also to look at the section 'Quality and Quantity of Services', 'Fiduciary Duty', 'Differences in Entitlement to Fee'.

Market outside the MLS bubble.Try posting on LoopNet, Crexi, and Land.com, since investors and commercial agents often browse there for transitional properties.

I feel that generally stops people from locking a date up while they browse for another place.

That’s where having an investor-friendly agent or broker isn’t just helpful, it’s critical.Yes, you can absolutely pull public records, check comps, and browse online listings yourself.

Do that well and you turn casual browsing into booked calls.What It Is and Why It MattersA lead capture page is a single-purpose landing page that trades a real benefit for contact info.
