Best Way to Locate Investors
I am looking to locate a list of investors in my area since there are so many good deals (for CA) in my general area.
Someone suggested bandit signs but, our cities are all over getting those down and fining you for putting them up. I tried craigslist, and was not successful.
I have attended some Meetup re investor meetings that seem to be conduits for real estate agents to attract people.
Are REI clubs that advertise the national stuff any better for locating investors?
How do I tell a seasoned investor from a newby at the REI?
Any suggestions would help. I am trying to build a bird dog or wholesale business fast time.
