I'm a young and eager real estate investing newbie just getting into the business and looking to learn as much as possible from others who have had success in the field. I mainly need advice or tips on getting the ball rolling as a new investor. I have been able to raise some funds for my first deal but haven't been successful at the other parts of the business, such as finding pocket listings through agents in the areas I've chosen and figuring out a detailed action plan to get things going.

This is a Meet-up happening next week and once a month. I have not attended this group yet but I have heard good things about it as well as good things about Jeff the group lead. https://www.meetup.com/Commercial-Real-Estate-Mast... It is close to you too. This group is focused on commercial investing.
If you are more interested in SFR investing/flipping here is another group I have attended and look forward to going back to in the near future: https://www.meetup.com/The-Real-Estate-Candy-Shop/
Welcome! I just recently joined as well and dealing with similar issues as yourself. I have tried driving for dollars and just today sent out my first mailer, hoping that goes well. Would love to chat sometime, bounce ideas for getting things off the ground!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've registered to a networking event coming up in a couple weeks over in Venice and read up a bit about the REIA. They have a chapter in Culver City and meet once a month on Tuesdays, so I think i'll attend the next meeting in about a month. Do you recommend any clubs or meet ups in the area?
