I just stumbled across this service.

Just stumbling upon this thread.Please add me.

I'm a hands on guy and would love my first investment to be close but am not opposed to buying out of state and hiring a PM company to run the property.I'm looking to network with so cal investors that are actively investing here in so cal that would like volunteer help or additional down payment money on an investment.I'm looking for so cal investors that are actively investing out of state and can give me contacts to professionals that can educate me on market conditions, point me in the right direction regarding different cities, and facilitate purchases.I'm glad I stumbled onto this sight and look forward to learning and sharing with the community.

Note to self and anyone else who may stumble upon this thread: Some of my questions (sort of) were addressed over here https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/522447-neophyte-from-santa-barbara-and-los-angeles-ca

You might stumble every once in a while on a nice deal but can't make a business out of it.

Stumbled upon this app today and damn I’m glad I did.

I actually stumbled onto your post looking for "help with investing with commercial real estate for the first time..."

If you don't foresee any major stumbling blocks (or, if you do, and would like to discuss confidentially - we can certainly do that), I'd be happy to set up a showing for you.

So I went biking (not driving) for dollars over the weekend and stumbled across a handful of abandoned/distressed properties.

But you haven't stumbled upon a secret.
