Is there a step by step guide out there, should I network with other investors and learn from them, or is there another way to learn that im simply overlooking? 

There you can network with many other investors/flippers and resources. 

I have developed an entrepreneur mindset, and I am really excited to see what I do with everything I have learned in the last 9 months through networking in New York City, listening to Podcasts and shows, and reading many books. 

Currently, I'm just learning and trying to get into the local networking scene to try to meet some people.

I’ve spent my time attending webinars, meet ups, networking, listening to Bigger Pockets podcast and reading the forums.

You are off to a great start with knowing friends that are already real estate investors and BiggerPockets can only enhance your network!

Bigger Pockets is a great place to network, learn about the real estate investing business, and get deals done correctly.

Just a lil about myself, I am a recent graduate (October 2017), live in New York City but move from Massachusetts where I go to school to SoCal California to live with a friend that currently goes to school in Los Angeles.Anyways my issue is after I move to California I started to work in December as a data center technician contractor in Irvine, the job lasted for 3 months since it was a 3 month contract, I’ve been researching about real estate since I started the job then decided that I wanted to invest in it.I devoted all my time and effort since March into real estate to learn and network, went to one meetup in Irvine, met the guy that hosted the meetup (Great Guy!)

I'm still learning the basics but looking to build my network.
