Awesome! Thank you for the help! That is very useful. Will definitely look around and see what we find. 

Awesome. That sounds great. Me and my wife will attend. Thank you for the invite. 

@Joel Bongco ,

Thank you for all that information. I would love anything and everything you are willing to share. This post is less for me, the investor, and more for my wife, real estate agent/lender. She chose to enter the real estate industry to try and help people and she feels this topic is a very good way for her to help those in need. Her inspiration comes from a close friend of hers losing a lot from making a poor decision when it came to foreclosing. Her friend did not know all the options she had and made a decision that ended up costing her a lot of money. 

But if you don't mind me asking, would you be willing to jump on a phone call/ or zoom with me and my wife? She would love to introduce herself, and pick your brain a little bit more in-depth on this topic. She read your response and is very intrigued at the idea of a team that specializes in the preforeclosure market.

Thanks again,

Jacob

Are there any Real Estate Agents, in the Southern California area, that specialize and/or have knowledge in the off-market housing market? I am looking for information regarding investing in houses going into foreclosure, and/or in pre-foreclosure.

 Thank you, Chris. I appreciate the encouraging words. 

Hello All,

A little about myself: My name is Jacob, and I am a brand new member of the Bigger Pockets community. I currently work as a machinist at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. I have a beautiful wife and son, and live in the beautiful southern California area. After a few years here, I have slowly realized that, although I make really good money doing what I love doing, I don't make enough to live comfortably in this market. Some would suggest moving elsewhere, but not only do we enjoy the life we live out here, this is where all of our family is located. Therefor, that is the reason why I am here. 

My wife is pursuing a career as a Real Estate Agent/Wholesale lender and I always thought that that was "her" dream to own real estate. But after doing some research myself, I find myself a little more excited about this journey than her. Unfortunately, the more research I do, the more I realize I am VERY late to this party. but as they say, its better late than never. So here I am, signing up for every webinar and presentation I can get my hands on. 

Goals and Expectations: I believe, you are as smart as the people you choose to surround yourself with, therefor my goals coming into this community is to build a group of individuals I could surround myself with. Not only to learn the tricks of the trade, but to grow and build wealth with, whether its financial or informational. 

So to all that are reading this! Please feel free to reach out to me. I am very new to this whole world, however I am very eager to learn and soak up as much information as I can. If you are looking for a partner to build and create with, am I here and eager to meet you. If you have any questions or concerns, I am always available.

I look forward to meeting all of you,

Thank you,

Jacob Canto
