@Brian Pulaski First let me say I have had 3 face to face meeting with guru.

I would also like to meet investors that have experience with the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy in California. 

I am fresh in the wholesale real estate game and would love pointers, advise, maybe even possibly meet up with local wholesale investors to chat and maybe eventually co-sale.

If you are available between March 12-19th I would be interested in meeting with you.-- Mark

Meeting fellow investors near you here https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet would be a good start. 

I have plugged in the numbers for one specific property, and the cash flow meets my minimum requirements, but the cash on cash return does not because the minimum down payment banks require.  

Since I am out of state I am unable to meet with the seller until Saturday but I want to get a head start and inform potential buyers about a property I may have coming soon to close this deal ASAP.

It requires keeping up on the local area's news, attending council meetings, keeping up on what's happening in the city you want to invest in.  

This is something you should only include in your personal pro-forma P&L that you use to both calculate your cash-on-cash return and whether or not it meets the return criteria. 

Forming monthly meeting for all here in BiggerPockets.
