Beginner seeking mentor/partner in foreclosure!

[Shawn Ho]

Hi,

My name is Shawn and I'm very new to the real estate investing business. I have only read a couple books and online courses so far. Since I am in the Los Angeles Area and with all the facts and numbers about foreclosures, I really want to focus on capturing the opportunity in pre-foreclusre investing.

A few months ago, I have placed classifed ads targeting some lease option buyers and sellers. I've got some response and I believe I have passed up a couple short sale opportunites.

I am currently working for a real estate development company and has a real estate license. I would really appreciate all the experts and experienced investor out there to help and guide me as I am starting my investing business. Any guidence and tips would be very much appreciated. I really really don't mind sharing any profits with any mentor/partners as long as I can get my foot in the door.

What should I do to get started? Thank you in advance. Hope all of you out there are having success.
