How can I find a real estate investor in my area

[Justin Shabanian]

How’s it going everyone!! I’m 18 years old in the Downey ca area. Do you have any advice as to how I could find a real estate investor in my area that I can potentially get in contact with and possibly grow a connection with and learn from ? I’ve tried direct messaging somewhat popular investors in different areas, but they usually say that I should try to find one in my area. Any advice ? Thank you
