But from talking to the big banks like Chase and Wells Fargo, and also the local banks that hold their own loans 80% of value seems to be the max especially on an investment property. 

Hello My name is Jesse I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and I was hoping to get a start in real estate by bird dogging for interested parties. 

Leave it to @Karen Margrave to cut to the chase!

A solid contractor would tell you that info UPFRONT instead of having to chase them and pull it out of them.

But yes there are just far to many good performing notes out there in my mind to chase down and buy into a problem loan which is what these NPN funds are.. a lot more to it than meets the eye.. and just like most RE fad's this is soup de jour so lots of uneducated or beginner money chasing these deals.

You'll bird dog, work for free like take pics of the houses they acquire, put lock boxes on them, learn how to market for them seller/buyer, learn about closing and contracts.

In fact, it reduces you your influence.He was chasing people down to shake their hands.

I have been trying to bird dog for a couple investors I met at the local REIA.

We are buy and hold, others are wholesalers, bird dog, flippers etc.
