My fiancé and I live in Oxnard as well. I recommend attending the Ventura County Real Estate Investors Club in Thousand Oaks, which can be found on meetup.com I'm still very new myself, but feel free to reach out any time. Talk to you soon.

I saw your post and just wanted to verify if this is the right group your were speaking of.

Thanks everyone one for warm welcome and support! Honestly, I was not expecting as much of a response that I have received . That says volumes about the community here, which is very encouraging. I look forward to being able to help others as others have aided me so far. Thanks again!
