Hello All,

I just wanted to take some time to introduce myself to the BP Community. I was introduced to Bigger Pockets when I started listening to all the BP Podcasts (which are great, by the way) and have been reading through the forums/posts for a few months now.

As mentioned in the title, I'm from Phoenix, AZ and am a CPA in the Valley. I'm looking into the "buy and hold" strategy and would like to start off with a few multi-units (preferably duplexes or quads). I'm looking forward to getting more involved in the forums and the greater Bigger Pockets Community.

Cheers!

@Brandon Turner I'm on it! I just received the "Investing In Duplexes, Triplexes & Quads" book by Larry Loftis - I will let you all know my thoughts.

@Steven Hamilton II I work in Public Accounting as an External Auditor (riveting stuff, I know). I'm hoping my analytic skills will be valuable in this process, but am cautions to not fall into the whole "analysis paralysis" issue :). Seems like you do some tax/accounting work - do you specialize in real estate?
