Hello BP! I was wondering if anybody was familiar with some of the local REIA groups around Riverside. I am really anxious to get real life experience with REI without being given sales pitches! Please reply/message if you are a local investor in riverside that knows any local clubs/groups that would benefit me. Thank you very much!

Hey BP! I've been spending a ton of time studying up on real estate and what I've come to form in my mind is this. For starters, you're going to have to find a good deal(with a motivated seller), then get it under contract(with the assistance of a real estate attorney) so you are the sole proprietor. Next, you get loans from hard money lenders by showing them you have a good deal.  Then you decide whether to rehab the place and sell it off or tenant it...or to just wholesale the contract off to a buyer. You find the buyer or tenant and then you it under contract with non refundable escrow(or money that shows commitment). Then close! I know this was overly simplified but I'd appreciate the insight!

Hey BiggerPockets! I'm an incoming freshman at UC Riverside and have been dedicating a ton of time recently deciding to get into REI and actually studying a lot of the basics. I was considering joining a local REIA at Riverside since I will be dorming at the school and it will be close by to network and meet some like minded people. I wanted to ask if joining a REIA would be a good idea or if there were people in Riverside on this forum that would be willing to assist me. Things like finding a good contractor, attorney, and valuable insight are what I'm hoping to mainly find. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for the responses!

Hey everybody! I am new to real estate investing and wanted to know what kind of real estate properties a person with minimal cash to start out with would be looking for. Also, if anybody had the time. I'd like to know ALL the kinds of real estate properties that are generally looked at. Thanks in advance for the responses!

Greetings BiggerPockets community! I'm an incoming freshman at University of California, Riverside and I decided to join because I want to get involved with real estate because I've heard and read about countless stories of people getting financially independent through it and I am extremely motivated to get involved as soon as possible!
