Hey Ryan, what are "ready-made-deals" and sheriff sales?

@Richard Bastar

Yeah I was hoping I would make it to one yesterday but couldn't finish what I had going for the day, in time to make the one I was invited to. Thanks for the heads up on the additional meet ups, if you have any links to the group pages I'd appreciate it. Either way I'll look them up. Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out to me. I'll definitely be taking you guys up on the offer to learn more and grab some lunch as well. 

Hello everyone,

In the effort of moving from wide eyed Real Estate newbie to actual Real Estate investor, I'm hoping to speak, meet up and possible even do walk thru's with Investors in the Southern Cali area. I'm looking for advice on strategy's to get started, more ways to make myself useful in attracting possible mentors or becoming a part of a team and working my way up. I'd like to learn more about wholesaling, fix and flips, analyzing and rehab costs; or any other advice you have. I understand that your time is valuable and will make sure to it is not wasted. 

@Laura Alamery Awesome advice and plan all in one answer. 

@Jonathan W. Thanks for the info, I just went to my first RE Meetup over the weekend and will be attending this one as well. Still I'd like to know if the rest you are still planning to meet up for coffee?

@Kaivan Entezarmahdi Sorry, I missed that number, makes more sense now. 

@Andy Cross @Kaivan Entezarmahdi

Yeah, I'm a newbie as well but 60k seems like a lot in earnest money. I read that the un-written rule is about 3% depending on the demand and other competitive buyers? Again though, I'm just here trying to learn from it all though. 

Congratulations @Marquest Page! Motivating to hear of newbies having success after taking action!
