So-Cal Real Estate Investors

Our newly updated So-Cal Real Estate Investors group will share the latest real estate trends and up to date statistics, distressed property deals, and creative investment opportunities around the Southern California region (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties, especially) and nation. You'll learn ways to creatively buy and flip properties for both residential and commercial real estate properties and how to find new listings and buyers for real estate licensees.

We'll meet at the Canyon Lake Golf & Country Club, at the beautiful Shoreline Yacht Club overlooking the bay near the historic Queen Mary ship in Long Beach, and online.

We want this group to also be a business networking group where we can all learn from each other and refer real estate deals and new clients to one another, especially for real estate licensees, wealth advisors, and attorneys.

About the new Meetup group organizer as of December 22, 2022 named Rick Tobin:
I've created entire real estate courses and college textbooks (residential and commercial real estate, legal, and mortgage topics) for some of the best-known real estate schools and educational firms in the state and nation (30+ states), including the Top 2 largest real estate educational firms in America named Colibri/McKissock (Allied Real Estate School, Real Estate Express, and Learn Mortgage are also under their corporate umbrella) and Kaplan/Pearson (best known for their high school and college textbooks - I wrote their updated Credit course in 2023); the first online California real estate school; and the oldest real estate school in California named Lumbleau.

I've bought and sold numerous properties in multiple states; assisted with the development of thousands of new housing units; and provided several hundred million dollars' worth of capital to clients across the nation for both residential and commercial properties. I've held eight different real estate broker, securities, and mortgage licenses throughout my career. I'm also a graduate of the University of Southern California.

Between 1998 and 2008, I was the most published author for AD Kessler's Creative Real Estate Magazine. For the May 2006 cover story, the same national publication featured me on the cover under the heading of A Creative Financier for their main story that month. This publication was one of the most famous national real estate publications in America over the past 50 years. I used to be interviewed on the Creative Real Estate television and radio shows as well as taught students how to buy and flip properties across the nation.

Several hundred of my articles have appeared for a few decades in Creative Real Estate Online (I was their most published author for at least five years; CRE Online, which is not affiliated with Creative Real Estate Magazine, was generally considered as one of the top real estate investing websites in America for many years -  www.creonline.com), REI Wealth Monthly, the REI (Real Estate Investing) Club website (www.reiclub.com), Realty 411 Magazine (http://www.realty411.com - I've been their most published author for the past few years), Think Realty https://thinkrealty.com/, and in The Scotsman Guide (www.scotsmanguide.com - this has been ranked as the #1 most read mortgage publication in America).
