I am looking to meet with folks in the Monterey, Santa Monica, and Santa Barbara areas.

For instance, I follow the 1% rule with my investments, and that's getting harder and harder to meet in Myrtle Beach. 

I’m new so I don’t have any to contribute that are specific to REI, but from my other businesses.Waze + a calendar connection - easiest way to get traffic notices for departure time for your next meeting Outlook - it’s more powerful than the default iOS mail when it comes to signatures, scheduling, and managing emails Evernote - great note taking and overall brainstorming tool Dropbox - self-explanatory.

hey @Yumna Zahid,  I saw your post and was curious if you've been to a Fixated Real Estate Meet up?

You might be willing to raise your purchase price to say 200k if the cash flow meets your requirements. 

Put the work in and you will meet the people you will need to be successful. 1.

You might head out to a local REI meeting and ask around, you are sure to find some lenders there who can close quickly.

Would appreciate any advice and would love to meet investors who have knowledge on the area and looking for a persistent mentee.

I have received numerous applications and several people meet my criteria.

Which is why you have a vested interest in being on the Board, or at least attending meetings.
