Networking.

@Michael GlotfeltyI would just say you are at the right place here at b/p to network with like minded people and all the education you can get here on this platform.

Hi BP Network,I'm new to the RE world but have really caught the fire.  

Secondly maybe you aren't in the right network and aren't speaking to the right people man.

There are contracts in the File section, but as @Laura Alamery suggested, you should probably network with successful wholesalers in your area to get help in a JV deal - You find the deal, they provide the buyer(s).

This site has been invaluable to my real estate education, and I'd like to take it to the next level with networking here as we get our feet wet in investing. 

First of all there is a wealth of info on BP about wholesaling and wholesalers so poke around here.While you will learn general principles though all these sites, i would recommend networking in your area and see if there are wholesalers or investors who might be willing to pay you to birddog for them or do other tasks to start learning the business and the market.

You can also attend seminars and lunches for even more networking opportunities.

I also am in the process of finishing up my RE license courses as I really want to expand my network, save on fees, and maybe sell some homes here and there.I've been keeping an eye out on properties within the Riverside areas around Riverside Community College, Cal Baptist University, and University of Riverside (UCR).

There are several other military investors that I've networked with in the area.
