New in Seattle
Hi!
I'm new here, and excited to join the Bigger Pockets forums. My name is Melissa Melia, and I'm in Seattle, Washington.
For the last ten years I've been investing in real estate and self-managing the properties. It's be a great experience, leading into professional property management, where I recently opened a firm and serve as the designated broker.
I'm interested in participating in the dialogue, learning, and making connections. Thanks for having me!

Thanks for the warm welcome, and thanks @Aaron Ramm for recommending the podcasts! I've heard quite a few and am already a big fan of @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner!
