I am currently studying for my RE License in Colorado and want to invest in rental properties. 

That's how I got started (1978).The legal information that you to study is primarily found in CA Civil Code Section 1695 as it relates to Equity Purchase Agreements.Also, study CC 2924(a) et seq. as these are the laws pertaining to non-judicial Foreclosures.I believe you can still download a copy of the Equity Purchase Agreement which includes the statutory 14 point type font language at Ward Hanigan's Foreclosure Forum website.I still think the most successful people who are looking for super-bargains (meaning properties with lots of existing or created equity will do their best work by a combination of mailing, calling and knocking as owners are getting pounded by direct mail pieces.
