Agent finding RE investors? Best Way?

[Sam Lewis]

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this board. I have been in real estate part time for 3 years. I was recently was laid off from my job, and now I putting all my efforts into developing my real estate career.

I live in Southern California and prices have dropped dramatically. I know there's a ton of investors out there. What are the best methods for finding these investors so that I can work with them on acquiring property?

All answers are very much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
