We would like to meet other like minded people, share contacts and get the scoop of whats going on in our neighborhood.

I understand what you are saying @Wayne Brooks, I may need a letter of intent... which is better... but I'll just have to go meet them and give them my answer to purchase in a day of two while my applications are pending...I have no choice... 

I then told him that I have been looking for an investment property to buy, I can close fast (as fast as my hard money lender can move I guess) and I asked if we can meet at the house in the morning to see if we can come up with a win-win situation that would allow me to purchase the home and RENT IT BACK TO HIM.  

- Are your goals clear, how often do you meet to discuss progress?

I have no idea how effective that is, but at the local REIA meetings I went to all year last year there were always 1 or 2 vehicles parked in the lot with the ads on them.

I'm based out of Irvine but can meet you in LB if it's easier on a day I'm visiting a property. 

Looking forward to meeting and establishing some new relationships and contacts on this site.

I hold a monthly meet up on the west side.

Do you have recommendations on where I could do out of state investing to meet my return objectives of already a 10 % COC and $150 to $200 a door?
