Hello and welcome to Bigger Pockets Mike! My name is Manny and I've been an real estate agent in SoCal for over 17 years now. I have bought and sold properties all over SoCal...from all the way down in San Diego, to Orange County, to Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties. I also own an STR company with properties in Orange County, Los Angeles County, Kern County and 1 in Mexico. How may I be of service to you?

Hi Mike, if you are looking to network, there are at least 3 meetups I can recommend in SoCal that will be a big help with  networking. If you are on IG, you can check out these 3 individuals who home monthly meetups in SoCal. _milkhouse (Rene), alexcamachotv (Alex) & Thebriandavila (Brian) he is in IE. I hope this help. Good luck!!

@Manny Vasquez, I am looking to learn how to purchase my first property(be it rental or flip).

I have used BP rental property tools to look for deals.

    @Renee Harris, thank you for your response. Currently I am just looking in my neighborhood in California. I have to save up, or possibly try to get investors for any up front costs. Trying to learn as much as I can from anyone willing to help me and network.
