I want to get started wholesaling properties in Los Angeles, please help?

[Christian McNair]

Hi, Bigger Pockets 

I live in the Los Angeles area and I wanted to get involved in Real Estate Investing by wholesaling properties. A few questions I have are:

Where or how can I find a list of people, who would be considered Distressed property owners( out of state owners, people who want to sell their house quickly, etc.)?

Where do I get the contracts for the sellers and for the investor when trying to do a wholesale deal?

How do I build a list of cash investors who can close quickly?

Any advice would be great appreciated, many thanks!
