Investopedia explains 'Bird Dog'
Despite what many late-night infomercials promise, being a bird dog is not a quick and easy way for the novice real estate investor to become the next Donald Trump. Most successful bird dogs have spent years, or even decades, working in and around real estate and have developed their instincts about a property's potential.
For someone interested in breaking into the bird-dog field, working for a more seasoned investor may be the wisest first step. Many bird dogs work as apprentices for a time, either receiving a commission or a share of the profits for the properties they help locate for experienced real estate investors.
