Just very hot lolNow I live close to Venice Beach(about 10 -20 minutes away depending on traffic)

Jonathan Makovsky organizes it and regularly posts the meet up information if you want more details.

I've done this with our area community organizations and found that if u go in too aggressively they could treat you as an outsider.

The BiggerPockets books are also really well organized and useful.

If you spend $500 or less you aren't going to make your way through traffic with it. 

I'm a regular at the Riverside meeting, never been to the Coachella meeting but the organizer, Andy Teasley, is a good guy and excellent teacher.  

They are good values, great easy reads and well organized. 

The hard part is getting there due to commute traffic from Woodland.

My backyard is flat except in the farther side of it their is a hill that almost other subdivision across it can see it. in that hill since some of it is my property i throw my wood stuff in there with some motor thingy and other stuff , its definitely not a trash. and this guy comes in tells my son that if we don't clean that area he would call the (DOD) something something organization and police on me. i wish i was home to talk to him that that little area is my property and i can throw anything i want to as long as it does not bothers my neighbors. i need help  understand this better......... am i right ?

It's all public data but they have it organized effectively.
