Hello BP Community,

I'm currently in the process of trying to find my first deal, I already have a lender in place for financing. I believe i have a rather strong understanding of the process of rehabbing and flipping houses, and I've just now feel 100% ready to dive into this. I've tried a few things such as creating a few "we buy houses" type of ads. I search websites such as realtor.com, zillow, redfin, looking for houses on the market. I've called multiple wholesalers and agents to try and get someone to do the searching for me as well (even though i definitely would like to expand that network 10x over). I'm still just starting so i know that deals will come with persistence, but i'm just curious if there is any investors in the southern California area that have had some particular success with certain methods, I currently live in San Diego. Thank you in advance for any help!

That's fantastic news Lynda! I would love to check it out and have the opportunity to join you!

Awesome! Thank you both for the advice. Casey i'd love to be able to stop by and possibly pick your brain a little bit on how you got started, and check out your fourplex for sure. I'll send you a PM!

Hello!

My name is Jacob, i'm a newbie trying to get into the wonderful world of real estate investing. I'm 25 years old and live in San Diego, CA. I've been raised around construction and real estate investing my entire life and now I've decided I want my own piece of the pie, but I don't know where to start! I've done hours of reading books, reading blog posts, and listening to podcasts, but I know this isn't the best way for me to learn. While it is a great place to start, I know that i'm a very hands on kinetic learner, so a mentor would be the most beneficial way for me to grasp real estate investing. After doing this research, I've discovered the Bigger Pockets forum and i'm hoping that someone will be willing to help me achieve my goals or at least set me on the right path to gather as much knowledge as I can from an expert.
