Good morning BiggerPockets community. I will keep it quick. My name is Kaleb Ahonen i'm 22 and I have been a Realtor for about a year now My whole purpose to become a realtor was to eventually invest and teach others. I have been listening to BP since i was 15 and I am so excited to learn and grow in this community and hopefully to eventually invest with some of you as well. I just want to be a sponge!

Aloha @Kaleb Ahonen - my team and I take an Off Market/Distressed Property approach in the Inland Empire, San Diego, Orange County and LA.  The process is simple, however it is not easy.  I have a meetup in Orange County on April 20th (listed in the BP meetups - Orange County Section). We'll have several investors/realtors from the Inland Empire to help you including myself.  Please come join us! Mahalo!  Joel

 Hit some meetups locally to get to know the market and know it really well to be a better skilled realtor to not just you but those other people out there that want to use you!

Hi Kaleb, 

Have you been attending local real estate meetups in your area? Thats also a great place to meet investors and create new partnerships and friendships. If you have not yet I would suggest to use eventbrite or meetup.com to look event in your area. I live in OC and theres plenty out here and LA area too. I've attended many in my area and have met and created connections with some awesome people.

 It definitely is! Helping others is amazing and then being able to do it myself is almost just as sweet.
