newbie in the Seattle area
My name is Chris Vincent from the Seattle/Everett WA area and I'm brand new to real estate investing. I'm very excited to join the BiggerPockets community and soak in the knowledge of all the experienced as well as newbie investors. My plan is to start in wholesaling and gain the knowledge I need to then progress to the rehab/buy and hold side investing. I would greatly appreciate any and all knowledge your willing to give. From the looks of this site, I couldn't think of a better community to begin on my journey to success!

I would also like to invite you to the upcoming Washington BP meet-up with @Brandon Turner . You can find the official information here:
It will be a great opportunity for you to network, meet the people you see so often posting on the forums and make great connections. Remember, you have a great skill-set simply by working in the construction field. Examine ways that you can be of service to other investors and get involved in the forum.
