There are a lot of colleges now that offer degrees or specializations in real estate investing, development, or management.

OK,What exactly does the term Bird Dog refer to?

All it requires is ambition and some specialized knowledge.

Make sure whatever lawyer you use that they specialize in real estate.

Just some food for thought, I know m personal situation is similar and I am looking strongly in to Wholesale/Bird Doging my first few deals to get some cash put aside without the big risks of over leveraging in a Volitale Real Estate market.

Anyway, I would recommend that you seek advice from a qualified attorney that specializes in real estate.

I have to applogozie for my puppeteer routine....I should have also stated that I am an experienced mortgage broker, been in the industry for 8 years, the last 2 specializing in investment loans.I could give you the names of over 25 people that have successfully closed rehab loans based upon the after repaired value with no verification of income or assets.

That said, the money may have been his or it may have been borrowed -- there are some lenders (transactional lenders) who specialize in loaning money for double closing situations.
