Presenting my plans would be much better than trying to explain the whole non-traditional investing process.Good thing that came from our meeting is that he and a few other doctors are looking to buy about 10-20 homes to use as group homes.

Goal is to buy at least 2per year or have 10 cashflow rental properties within 5.Are there regularly meets in the Orange County area?

@Michael MalloyMichael, please don't take this wrong...but you should first find someone to partner with who can assist you as you're now realizing you're too new at this to keep yourself out of hot water.  

Great to meet you!

I've completed the BP getting started modules, I just purchased the BP flipping houses book and I am going to my very first REIA meeting in 10 days in hopes that I meet some really great people that can help me with my Real Estate career.

Any local REI meetings you recommend?  

You can also look on Hubzu, auction.com, craigslist, etc.You can go to local REIA meetings and network with folks there.  

@Craig James Right now Walnut Hills, Evanston, and Northside are pretty hot, but a deal is a deal no matter where its at, id like to link up with and investor and establish a partnership.

On searching the MLS: I would network at your local bigger pockets meet up, if there isn't one then start one.

For you that have been here awhile, Are there any BP meet ups?
