What is a Real Estate Bird Dog?

A Bird Dog is someone who finds and refers properties to an investor for a fee.

It is a great system for a new investor, who is still learning the real estate game, since it will be like “training on the job.” It will also provide a way of making money immediately, sometime within days of starting, which can provide a great boost and motivation factor for someone starting the business with no money or credit.

The skills that the investor learns for being a real estate bird dog will be important for other strategies as well:

1. Locating Buyers– this comes even before locating properties. It is called the “Reverse Approach” or “Shopping versus Selling Mentality.” It is important to know what the buyers/investors are looking for and create a trust between the Finder (Birdogger) and the Investor. A buyer list should concentrate on quality instead of quantity: a dozen of ready and able investors is all the Birdogger needs to have a successful business. These buyers have to be cash buyers, so the deal can be closed quickly with no delays.
2. Locating Properties– once the buyer’s list is in place, screening of the buyers will provide enough information to compile the properties’ requirements: area, price range, type of property. With this information, it is a matter of finding the properties meeting the requirements and in this economic chaos it is fairly easy: foreclosures, preforeclosures, REOs, abandoned properties, absentee owners – all these are ideal properties for a Birdogger to locate and bring to his buyers’ attention.
3. Packaging the Deal– this is where the deal is put together. The Birdogger notifies his buyers that he has located a property meeting their requirement. Before providing the address and other specific information, a Bird Dog Consultation Agreement should be signed, stating payment, confidentiality and other important clauses. This is essential in protecting the Birddogger from being cut out of the deal and it provides full disclosure of the transaction.

What are the fees for a Real Estate Bird Dog?

It depends – a good practice is charging $500 plus 2.5% of the proceeds, if the deal is flipped or sold by the investor, or $1,000 if the investor plans on keeping the property. This is how the deal works:

1. House is located with a sale price of $50,000 – it is assigned by a Birddogger to one of his buyers/investors;
2. The investor purchases the house – he/she keeps it for investment – a fee of $1,000 is paid to the Birddogger;

or

The investor purchases the house and flips it for $70,000 – there is a $18,000 spread after closing costs: the Birddogger makes $500 plus $450.

All these terms will be stated and agreed upon in the Bird Dog Consultation Agreement, which you should have prepared by a knowledgeable attorney.

A contested divorce is one in which the parties are not in agreement as to the terms of the divorce. A contested divorce can take months or years to settle. Some contested cases will eventually lead to a trial. Often, the parties are in agreement as to the necessity of a divorce; however, they are not willing to cooperate in finalizing the process. Attorneys for the parties and the court will make reasonable efforts to resolve the case and bring it to Judgment. Ultimately, it is the parties themselves who must stipulate to complete the case.

Contested divorce cases can be quite expensive as attorneys typically charge by the hour for office time and for court time. Many a small fortune has been spent on legal fees over a failed marriage. It is usually in the parties’ best interests to bring a swift resolution to the case.

One issue can cause a case to become contested.  The parties might agree on everything except custody, support, visitation or division of property.  This one area of disagreement can cause a case to go to trial.  Although the court will do everything in its power to attempt to have the parties reach agreement, there are cases where the court must conduct a hearing and allow for the parties to present their cases. 

A trial can last less than a day in a simple case or can last weeks in a difficult case.  Cases that involve custody disputes require the most time and interplay between the parties, witnesses and the court.

More than likely, Mark Hughes never imagined the major proportions to which his tiny part-time Herbalife enterprise would grow. Chances are that he never thought that the weight loss preparations he peddled would manage to reach markets all over the world and become readily available on a half-dozen continents within dozens of niche international markets. Herbalife’s 30th birthday celebration was recently commemorated. Initially launched in 1980, it has evolved into what has become one of the world’s most popular brands. Within the last year alone, the conglomerate reported a monumental sales milestone of gross business revenues that totalled $4.3 billion USD. The following Herbalife review delves into all the fine details about this fine firm and its featured product offerings and compensation structure.

What is Herbalife Really About?

Herbalife was founded upon the basic business model of weight loss product sales and production. Its formulas consisted primarily of protein-based shakes. Although this item may sound like a mundane copycat to contemporary dieters, shakes were then novelties within weight loss schemes. Before long, many consumers became enamored with this invention. As methods were developed for expanded commercial growth and prolific opportunities to earn prodigious profits were devised, the multi-level marketing distribution model was adapted. From then on, the proliferation has been absolutely phenomenal! At present, a vast array of Herbalife products are available that focus dieters’ attention on personal care, nutritional issues, general health matters, fitness and energy enhance, and weight control. Its original diet protein shake was fittingly named “Formula No. 1.” To this day, it continues to take first place today as the firm’s leading weight-loss product, alongside many other delightful dietary variations like protein bars, multi-vitamin diet pills, capsules and tablets, assorted creams, soup bases, shampoos, and much more.

Herbalife has used its assets in the form of all the latest technological innovations and some of the world’s most brilliant scientific minds to catapult the colossal popularity and prolific demand for its products. As things keep getting bigger and better, many consumers have considered Herbalife for its exceptional income-producing potential.

Herbalife’s Compensation Plan:

Every individual product distributor has the opportunity to develop multiple income streams from diverse sources. This include wholesale and retail sales profit, commission revenue, royalties, bonuses, and various discounts. Herbalife has one of the most versatile payment formats in current existence within today’s entire marketplace. There is also an enormous potential for a sustained level of lucrative business earnings. Herbalife’s innovative multi-tiered marketing model does not have sponsor-sponsee “marriages.” Each representative remains totally free to cultivate his or her own sales staff to reach the apex of success!

Buffett, like many other great investors, tends to be very discriminating-he avoids the temptation of buying a stock that seems alluring at the moment. Any stock can potential be a value if the price is right, but Buffett doesn’t allow himself to be fooled into buying stocks just because they are undervalued.

Eventually, each of the 10,000 or so U.S.-list stocks, including the Qualcomms and Oracles of the world, will trade at undervalued price, but only a small fraction of the 10,000 companies offer compelling long-term growth prospects. Most have poor fundamentals or an erratic growth history and should be shunned. Many others will provide periodic trading gains and then languish when the investment community tires of their stock and seeks short-term profits elsewhere. As you hone your stock picking over time, you will eventually whittle down your short list of buy candidates to a few dozen. Then, you can zero in on this list and purchase them, one at a time, as their prices fall to favorable levels.

You should avoided the temptation of buying stocks simply because you have cash on hand, Buffett believes. More often than not, a havey wallet invites mistakes. At the beginning of 1999, Buffett was holding more than $35 billion in cash and bonds in Berkshire Hathaway’s investment portfolio. He was content to hold this great sum of money, which was equal to the total yearly output of dozens of smaller countries, indefinitely until he found suitably priced companies to purchase. In contrast, most investors feel a psychological need to put their loose change to work almost immediately. Rather than patiently wait for their favroite stocks to decline, they purchase shares of lower quality companies without spending time to study their fundamental properties.

Buffett avoids this trap by identifying all the stocks he wishes to own over the next several years and buys them one at a time, but only when they fall to an attractive price. If the stocks do not fall to his desired price immediately, he takes no action. He knows that the odds favor a decline in price sooner or later. In the interim, he will devote his attention to other desirable companies whose prices may already have fallen to appealing levels.

To help you practice the taking-strike method, you should keep a list of your prospective stock prices. The list should include the maximum price you would willingly pay for the company today. Post this list in a convenient place and check it periodically.

The obvious advantage to warehousing stocks is that it forces you to be vigilant. Before buying, you must determine a reasonable value of the company, which means studying the enterprise. Putting some time into the valuation proves will greatly decrease your chance of buying prematurely. Buying companies in this manner also allows you to build the portfolio you really want and prevents you from adding undesirable stocks simply because you have idle money. In addition, the method harnesses your impatience and – most important- ensures top performance because you will be overpay for any company.

You should update your checklist periodically to make sure your target prices are reasonable. If a company’s growth prospects dwindle, the original buying price you set may be too high. Conversely, if the company’s fundamentals improve, the stock may not retreat to your buying level again. In such cases, you must reappraise the company to determine whether it is truly worth a higher share price.

The point is, when you don’t have to invest, don’t feel you should invest. Once you attain confidence in your own stock picking, you’ll naturally make fewer and fewer buy-and-sell decisions. Being a successful investor gives you the same luxury as having a 20-game lead over the second place team in September. You can rest the bat on your shoulder and take strikes indefinitely because it won’t change the outcome of the season.

Here’s the easiest way ever to make money online – create a fantastic product, and sell it. But how do you do that? Here’s how to get started.

You’ve heard of Internet millionaires who sit beside their pool – or beside the pool of a hotel in an exotic location – sipping cool drinks as their fingers dance across their keyboard and the dollars roll in, 24 hours a day.

However, you doubt that making money online is possible for you.

Every famous marketer started exactly where you are now, and if others can create products, you can too. After all, you’ve already got the most important tools: your computer and an Internet connection.

Get Started – Create Your First Product the Easy Way

The easiest product for you to create is a product which is based on your own life and experience. Think back – what problems have you solved in your own life over the past year? Make a list. What have you learned in the past year? Make another list.

Under “problems I’ve solved in my own life” you could list:

* Got out of credit card debt

* Sold my house within a week

Under “what I’ve learned” you could list:

* Learned how to take great digital photographs

* Made the switch from Windows, learned how to use a Mac computer

* Learned how to sell a house as the home owner

And so on and so forth… Give yourself half an hour, and I’m sure you can come up with a dozen problems you’ve solved, and another dozen things you’ve learned.

The items on your list are potentially all products you could create… if there’s a demand for them.

Here’s a fast way to check demand: if people are talking about a topic, then it’s usually a good topic to create a product around. For example, go to Google, and type “credit card debt +forum” into the search query field. (Without the quotes.) You’ll see that there are lots of forums – people are talking about this topic.

Try it with the items on your lists. Spend a couple of hours on this, and make notes. This kind of research is vital in order to create a fantastic product which sells well.

Go and make your lists and look for forums now. I promise you that you’ll have a great idea for a product within three hours.

You’ve just completed the hardest task when it comes to creating a product – finding a topic which you can develop based on your own experiences, and which will sell.

Everyday is an opportunity to find romantic things to do for a girl. It’s time we live up to the legacy of all the Romeos and Don Juans that came before us. Don’t just settle for simple text messages or cheesy greeting cards! We can all do better than that!

If you’re ready to step up your game, check out these romantic things to do for a girl!

1) Flowers, Not By The Dozen.

A bouquet of flowers is no big deal. Girls expect it and are pretty much immune to its effect. However, when used in a different way, flowers can deliver a powerful message.

Instead of buying a dozen roses or lilies (whatever the girl’s preference may be), why don’t you pick flowers which have a definite meaning to them? Then leave one flower each in places she least expects, along with a note that speaks of its meaning.

You can leave one on her bed or one pressed between the pages of her favorite book. Just be sure to sign your name lest she mistakes you for a stalker!

2) Be Chivalrous.

One of the romantic things to do for a girl is to be considerate of her needs. Take a page from the guys who lived a few hundred years back and make use of your chivalry card.

Respect a girl’s independence and capabilities, but don’t leave her to cross the street alone or to struggle with her groceries. Walk a girl to her car or to her cubicle; even if it’s just around the corner. Practice the whole “ladies first” mantra; unless of course, you’re heading for danger. Open the door for her before you push your way inside the restaurant.

Of course, being chivalrous doesn’t mean you have to be a girl’s slave. Be romantic, not desperate.

3) Use Your Creativity To Express Your Love.

There are many other romantic things to do for a girl. Here, you can let your imagination fly and make the most of your resources.

Some guys like to serenade their girl outside her apartment. Others have high-flying jets spell out their affections in the air. Not all romantic things to do for a girl have to be expensive. If your budget is tight, you can spell it out on a cake instead, or have a restaurant custom-make a fortune cookie to your exact instructions.

There are tons of romantic things to do for a girl. They don’t have to cost a fortune, although it would be nice if you have money to spend. It’s the thought and the effort that counts. Just be sincere with your emotions and that will be enough.

The parabolic SAR is a trend following indicator. It indicates the current trend and helps in following the trend. It is shown by the black dots on the price versus time graph. The arrangement of graph indicates whether the price movement is in uptrend, downtrend or no trend. Thus the trend following strategies can be use to trade effectively in the intraday as well as short term trading.

The parabolic SAR can be used in conjunction with other indicators like ADX and RSI. The ADX indicator determines the strength of the trend in place. It determines whether the trend is a strong trend or a weak trend. Thus the ADX and SAR can both be used together to generate confident signals for trading.

The parabolic SAR can also be used with RSI. The RSI indicator will help in determining the oversold and overbought levels. There are high chances of trend reversals at these overbought and oversold levels. Thus the trend reversal signals can be confirmed from both the RSI as well as Parabolic SAR.

The present study attempts to scrutinize Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey into Night. Here, the critical overview is based on “The American Dream” as a national myth; it is the myth of success or a fulfilled life for all Americans. The theoretical framework is based on the ideas of some critics such as Lewis, Carpenter, and Pradhan on “The American Dream”.

This study follows a historical perspective and states that “The American Dream” has been with Americans from the beginning of the history of America. And later shows that this particular dream has turned to be a myth for centuries.

For this research, first, a comprehensive study is done on the history of America as well as on the concepts such as “The American Dream” and “American myth”. Then, the elements of “The American Dream” are traced on The Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey into Night. Next, these elements are considered as inaccessible myth. Totally, it is shown that how O’Neill depicts “The American Dream” in his two plays.

When O’Neill began to write plays, in the American drama there was an unreasonable acceptance of materialism and traditional values, and the presentation of life and character was hackneyed. O’Neill’s plays from the first reveal better and truer understanding of man and his life. Tilak Raghukul (1975) believes that:

From the beginning O’Neill saw life as something not to be neatly arranged in a study, but as terrifying, magnificent and often quite horrible, a thing akin to tornado, an earthquake or a devastating fire (p.20).

O’Neill considers the mythical characters that have come to America and have been looking for their dreams and a fulfilled life. He writes about forty plays that most of them are about American family. O’Neill started and ended his dramatic career in realism. All his important plays depict a tragic vision of America. Some dozen violent deaths and over two dozen nonviolent deaths, as well as causes of insanity in his drama are an indication of the consistency of his tragic vision. H. Clark Barrelt (1947) says:

When America was close to victory in World War II, O’Neill told his countrymen I’m going on the theory that the United States, instead of being the most successful country in the world, is the greatest failure (p.152).

This quotation shows how much O’Neill was aware of the failure of American values. In both The Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey he represents the failure of American man. He shows the man who is looking for a fulfilled life but he cannot find it in reality, so the reality becomes painful for him. Metaphorically, in both plays O’Neill reveals the lie of “The American Dream” and considers it as a way escaping from reality.
