You can also buy the lease agreement and application forms from the California Association of Realtor's web site, should you wish to use those.As to listing yourself as a real estate professional on your taxes, I would not if I wasn't licensed. 

I'd send a flyer (withe a link to a single-property web site) directly to local designers, architects, and contractors, who might have clients looking for a project.  

The company is called Blacksotone Real estate services and the web site is http://www.blackstonerealestateservices.com/. 

Jarid,No, but they do have a site on the web.

Regardless of what the late night infomercials and web based ads say, properties don't just fall in your lap....And don't forget to check out the marketplace on BP for properties!

According to the webs as it relates to being licensed in California:No.

If all you have is the phone for internet access, just go to your web browser and type in the bigger pockets webpage.

I've been reading a lot of REI books, listened to podcasts, gone to seminars, and surfing the web.

(Hell,, anyone can create a web page these days) I think I know the answer but should I run away?????

I don't see one scheduled for this month but you can find them on the Bigger Pockets web site in the networking events.
