Kind of like a realtor does? Why not just hire a realtor?
Yeah, there are lots of opportunities in Phoenix where I live. I think we’re on the top part of the list for foreclosures in the nation.

It is different from hiring a realtor and real estate bird dog. Bird dogs don’t need a license to start their service and they can do it in your spare time. Having said that, bird dog does have the necessary skills and knowledge in property industry so that to earn their bird dog fee.
