Hey Brandon Turner - James Vermillion - Jon Klaus I am very excited to have found BiggerPockets and to have an amazing support system here. Thank you guys for the welcome!

Hey Joshua Dorkin, thank you for welcoming me to BP. Even though undergraduate biology is interesting to me, I don't see myself continuing down that path to make it my career. It's hard to pinpoint why I want to pursue a career in REI, but when you can get excited reading articles, posts, books, and etc. for hours everyday, there might be something to that.

The way I want to get into real estate is by purchasing a multiplex with an FHA loan and obviously renting out the other units while I live in one. Then refinance and move out, and do it all over again. I think that might help me ease myself into the REI realm.

Again, thank you for your welcoming post!

I know this may be a shock to most, but it has not rained in Seattle for 10 straight day! Yay (Knock on wood)! Ok, perhaps this is not such a great feat but it makes me just a little bit more happy.

Alright, lets get this started! My name is Vitali. As you might have guessed, I live in Seattle, WA. I am currently attending the University of Washington and I am a few quarters away from graduating with a bachelors degree in Biology. I know my area of study might have very little to do with real estate investing, but I have learned an amazing amount interesting material and would do it 10/10 times if I could do it again.

My interest in real estate sprouted from one of Rich Dad's books. It inspired me to read many more books after that and I eventually found my way to this site. I have become so intrigued with real estate investing that I am on BiggerPockets religiously, reading and learning every single day!

The articles and posts on this blog/forum are simply amazing! I am grateful for all the members here that take their valuable time to teach and help others learn.

I hope that I can contribute to BiggerPockets and provide some valuable opinions!
