Lila welcome to biggerpocketsMy suggestion is to interview several real estate agentsand to attend a few of your local reia meetingsAt your local reia meetings you most likely will connect with a few agent / investors ( networking )As Ned / Brandon stated - a few keyword alerts examples :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~San Diego, Sacramento, California, Anaheim ,North Carolina, South Carolina, Charlotte, etc

I'm Kendrick I've been working with real esate all of 2 days now...My goal is to get my first wholesale deal under my belt within 45 days.I also want to establish a network with you all.

If you haven't already, make sure to visit some local RE clubs so you can start networking with contacts if you haven't already done so.

You have definitly come to the right place to build a network and learn from some great people.

It is a great place to connect and network with other investors and ask these kinds of questions on strategy.

I'm new to bigger pockets and looking to build up a network

I'd love to find others in my area to form a mastermind group or to simply network.

There are a number of groups in our area, I recommend the New England REIA for a conventional REIA and invite you to attend our free Black Diamond networking group in Waltham, see url in my signature.It is harder when you don't have cash, you will find many gurus who tell you that you don't need money to get started, but regardless of what they say, at the very least it is more difficult.

BP is also a great networking tool, and if you stay active you will likely find several investors local to you who will be willing to sit down and discuss the local market with you.

Joseph M - I believe that most of my friends are finding their most lucrative deals through their vast network of agents, who themselves are quietly finding distressed owners/sellers and doing deals without ever listing the properties in the MLS.
