Hi everybody, I just wondered if it is normal for bird-dogs to sign a contract? I have no problem with it, to cover MY butt, but I wanna make sure there is no weird things thrown into this contract that I recieved. Oh by the way, I got the contract from this guy who saw one my ads to get buyers on a site, and they said they are interested in high priced homes ($500,000+) and would spilt their profit 50/50 with me. My first instinct was to not even respond, but naturally I was intrigued. I asked him why he wanted to split the profit 50/50, and he said that he wanted to keep his birddogs happy so they kept bringing him the deals-and he wasnt greedy...A legitimate response by MY book, but that is why I am HERE, is to ask your opinion. Thanks for the time....here is the contract I got sent...signed by him though. I have plenty of deals across the nation that I could send him and possibly make some bucks-if he is legit. :)

Ryan, you could ask him for references from other satisfied bird-dogs and you can always rely upon the fact that if he doesn't come through on the first deal then you can write him off at that time as a bad business partner. Once bitten twice shy!

You really have nothing to lose so go forward and watch everything closely. :smiley7:

Thanks Dan! I guess I will sign it and fax it to him. I really do have nothing to lose, and everything to gain! :) I have found TONS of homes for over $500,000 at 70% of FMV (God bless FSBO sites!) so I will have plenty of leads to send him! :)

Well now Ryan, you just might want to tell everyone here just how you're finding all these below market deals! :SM117:

mostly...by staying on the computer WAY too much! I have searched for EVERY possible way to find deals...online sites, nickel/super savers, fsbo sites, relatives, friends, Ebay!, etc...I wouldn't say I have a TON of good deals to send the guy, but out of all the houses I can find in the NATION online, as opposed to a single state or two, I ought to be able to find houses that are over $500,000 that they may be motivated enough to drop their price to 70%...:) Well, at least, that's what I am hoping! :SM006:

I'll give you credit my friend, your beating the keys into the desktop and eventually something will give. Another thing to remember is that a lot of the good deals go long before they ever get publicized and if they have to go to the net no savvy local investor wanted it!

Not true in all cases but something to be aware of none-the less, keep up the detective work and document the neat tricks and good sites along the way to getting hold of the internet gold!

Yes, I realize that most of the good deals are gone before they are advertised, which is the beauty of networking on sites like this! :) I am hoping out of all the high dollar homeowners I email/call, that some of them will simply be tired of holding out for what they are asking....The odds are against me, I'm sure, but I would rather be on the offensive, rather than sitting at home on the defensive...On another noter, I have just sent off about 70 letters to out of state owners on local properties around me, so hopefully I will have something come of them! :)
