BIRD DOG CONTRACT

i appreciate the contract I will edit the fee amount and reuse it. I like it it seems very unbiased and professional. the only thing I don't like is the finders fee amount. I live in NYC up here at would to get at least $10K for a finders fee.

Bumping This To The Top

so people can find it again.


Hey shane I am in NY

Hey shane I am in NY also,but the investors I spoke to will only go up to 2k for BD fee's, wholesaling is different, for the most part in B-dogging you are only giving a warm lead so most investors arent going to pay you much on that. wholesaling, you basically determine your pay going by the deal you found and how much equity is there. I have buyers that offer from 5k and up on wholesale deals and one guy who said he will pay according to the deal starting at 5k. But you really set the price if you want.


Section 3 B

I'm just curious how the Realtor percentage works. I hook up an investor with a realtor and I receive .5% fee on 1-5 houses and so forth but do I receive the flat fee on the first house and how will I know that the investor is doing other deals with the same Realtor?

BD Agreement!

Wow, this is awesome! I was just contacted by one potential BD about this. He wasn't sure how he would know that he would get paid when his referral turns into a deal.

He decided against the agreement, but this will definitely come in handy next time a potential BD gets worried.

Great!!!

You will have to readjust the headers. In the copy/paste process they went out of center and I usually put BIRD DOG AGREEMENT in bold.

In Washington state acting

In Washington state acting as a "Bird Dog" is technically illegal (Washington LOVES regulating everything)! However, from what I can tell it is only the term that is illegal, and people get around that by renaming themselves "Research Assistants". So using this contract in Washington wouldn't work, unless you changed the terms (easy enough!).

On a side note, anybody who is just getting started in Washington should really do some research on local state laws regarding some of the practices DG teaches. One such law (RCW 61.34, the "distressed property conveyance act") makes it illegal for an unlicensed person to deal with foreclosures or any property "IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE" (which could technically be EVERY property) without using a 3rd party licensed broker. It is a felony and punishable up to 10 years in prison. Are they enforcing it? Who knows, but it would be worth doing some local research on the legal applicability/risks of your actions BEFORE engaging with them. It would impossible for DG to stay up to date with every state/county/city law, so it is up to you to fill in the blanks! REI clubs are a great resource to learn the "law" and how people are actually working with/around it.

And I'm in Olympia if anyone wants to talk or needs help with anything.


Oh this is great

I have a lot of people wanting to birddog for me now, so I am marking this so I can find it. Thank you for sharing!

I like your agreement. My problem has been with bird dogs that have not taken the time to educate themselves. They send me deals that make no sense. You really have to train your bird dogs once you sign them up.

Looking to be birddog

Hi DG land. my name is Clayton and I'm looking to be a birddog in the Denver, CO area. I am very motivated and knowledgeable. The main reason I want to birddog is that I don't have the capital to start my RE business. I am willing to be trained or just given all details of exactly what you are looking for and minimum amount you want to make. Or if you use a formula to figure out positive cash flow or profit or offer I can just use instead of trained. also would need to know if you want good leads or if you want me to negotiate the price or if you want to do the negotiations that way you decide on what you pay and I just give you all the info and numbers already done so all you have to do is negotiate the price. But if you want to train me to do it the exact way you want it done I'm cool with that.


Clayton

I'm in Denver. I will buy every real deal you can send me. We look for the usual bread and butter 3 bedroom, 2 bath (and up) single family homes that usually won't go FHA. In other words we don't try and buy houses where we will be competing with owner/occupants. UGLY houses in a nice area.
We look for low average DOM (not hard these days!) and at least a 10% ROI.
We buy from $50,000 to $750,000.
Bring me some deals! I will pay you a flat fee or 25% to 50% of the net profit, depending on how the deal takes place.

Michael
