Agent finding RE investors? Best Way?

Question

Hello Everyone,
   I am new to this board. I have been in real estate part time for 3 years. I was recently was laid off from my job, and now I putting all my efforts into developing my real estate career.

I live in Southern California and prices have dropped dramatically. I know there's a ton of investors out there. What are the best methods for finding these investors so that I can work with them on acquiring property?

All answers are very much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Here's what you do Sam. Go out of your way to find a real beat down desperate seller listing and put it on for a super price. The investors will all call you in no time and you'll get to meet them when you show that property. Wow them and then just keep in touch.

Get some REO's in the area from banks at good prices.  If you do BPO's for banks they sometimes give you listings.

If you find great deals you can be my buyers agent on those deals.

CraigsList is a good source too.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I am still licensed. I am actually with Century 21 Beachside. I am going to read all the info in that link you provided. I have no problem answering my phone, and I am extremely eager. I just want to find some methods to find those investors out there looking to buy property and need a good agent to write offers and negotiate deals.

I appreciate your help.
