There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

Spent a summer weekend hunting for on-market deals on days off with a realtor.

I recently got pre-approved and am also on the hunt for my first investment property.

So long story short I am still hunting down the contract.

tried real estate investing many years ago, before the internet era.

There is a very big difference in my point of view hearing from someone who knows someone first hand vs. someone who just goes and does some internet research. 

My target markets include any region in California, and I’m always on the hunt for properties with strong value-add potential.If you’re experienced with rehabs, BRRRR, or creative financing strategies, I’d love to connect.

Happy to connect and point out areas by the airport, and all over the city that have worked well for investors. happy hunting!
