In my own words...
I am the Founder and CEO of BiggerPockets. I created this site in 2004 to create a place where investors could learn, network, market and make deals in a safe online environment..
I've been interviewed, quoted, and referenced by top media outlets including: The Los Angeles Times, Newsday, CBS News Radio, The Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, US News & World Report, and more. If you're interested in an interview, or in using me as a source, I'm readily able to make myself available for you.
Additionally, some of my articles from the BiggerPockets blog can be found syndicated on Reuters, Fox Business News, Chicago Sun-Times, etc.
Real Estate Experience
I'm an entrepreneur who used to sell real estate in the Los Angeles area, and have been investing in real estate for years now. I've been helping people in the real estate business for many years now.
Real Estate Goals
My goals are to continue building the user base and capabilities of BiggerPockets.com! We've got some great new features coming down the pipeline and I can't wait to introduce them to you!
Currently Seeking
I'm currently looking for members on BiggerPockets to invite their colleagues to join up and get involved in our community!

Wow! I'm really glad I found this site. Great job Joshua.
Great site..thanks for the info!
Hey Josh! Was wondering if you attended REOMac this year? I met several contacts with AM's located in Denver, would be more than willing to share notes from the conference.
Hi Joshua - great job on this site! First impressions last long and I'm happy I came across biggerpockets.com. I live currently in PA but have been to Denver and it's lovely. Enjoy the weather! Cheers! ~Tia

Thanks again Josh. When it comes to TECH. You and yours are on top of things. One thing..... Take care of Kathy Key Plz
Wassup! Hope you are having a great New Year and making bunches of money.
Hey Josh. Been around the www's for a looong time. The creativity that you have allowed equals that of the creative financing that I am sure has been preformed by some of your colleagues. Thanks again!
hi joshua! honestly, i've never expected that i could encounter a website such this one. this is so AWESOME! you deserve the best for making this really good! thanks! i'm looking forward that this site could really help me with my goals in real estate ;-) thanks!

Thanks Joshua for your site. Love to visit and glad to nominate the site. Three cheers
Awesome site, thanks man!
Thanks Josh for the post on the spamming. I will definitely network on this site and also thanks for the warm welcome comment. This site is awesome.
hey joshua, how come it is so hard for a canadian to use these forums properly, is this mostly just supposed to be for americans only?
What an outstanding job your team is doing creating a unique and special forum. Thanks for all your work. Bigger Pockets is addictive!
Hey Josh, I got your comment in my profile box. As you can see from my quick reply, I surf this site a lot! I think you could make your own religion here if you wanted to! I introduced myself when I joined, guess you missed it. I'm sure you are a busy dude! To sum it up, I am in the Army. I will find out in a couple of weeks if I might get out in 3 years for good. I want to buy rentals in Indianapolis, my home town. My goal is to focus on section 8 tenants. I am looking to buy my first within 2 years, right before I am out of the Army. In the meantime, I will be reading constantly, researching, and I would love to attend some REI club meetings to talk to people face to face. Thank you for the welcome, and o course, the excellent site you have created!
Josh, I just wanted to say thanks for the site. I am taking a virtual assistant class with Alan Brymer and he recommended your site. I have enjoyed learning and getting to know some of the regular personnalities on the posts. I check the site daily. I hope to contribute as I gain knowledge in this business. Blessings, Telaina
Yeah it's taken me ridiculously too long. I'll probably exist solely in the off topic and real estate marketing forums where I belong ;) Hooray for BP!!
Or you avaliable to answer a few questions about LA RE?
This site rocks! Very good job!
Great site and glad im pat of this online community. Cheer$ RJ

Hey Josh, thanks for the site. I'm a developer and site owner. I can appreciate the work involved. I'm glad you're bringing a touch of Web 2 to the real estate investor world.

Thank you Joshua for the warm welcome and taking the time!! What a great site and the amount of information is just amazing. I'll have fun learning and figuring out which information is applicable to Canada!! Thanks again.
Hi Josh, just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that your site is amazing. Full of helpful and insightful information on a variety of topics :)
great site, you guys are doing a great job
I like this new feature that you guys have with the photos.
hey, thanks for checking in with me, my partner and I are trying to decide our next move, we'd like to buy a six unit apartment building to owner occupy, we dont have the 20% down that is required and wondering if we should try to flip a single family home or should we just buy and hold a three unit.I'll keep you posted and please feel free to leave me a suggestion.
Your site is a wealth of information. Keep up the great work!
Hi Josh, This is one of the best sites I've ever been to as far as trying to find a large collection of knowledgeable and smart people who not only know the business very well, but are willing to help. The moderators are excellent in the same way. Thanks for creating it, and keep up the great work. Anna
i like this...
Thanks for the welcome message there Joshua. I was just cruising thru some of the options here. Looks really cool...I will hop on one...thanks again.
This site is just what I have been looking for, after wading through so much garbage. I am excited to become a member. Lets all do the right thing..
Some good stuff out here... Cheers..
Josh, We have known each other for quite a while now. I truly appreciate the professionalism of this site. I refer many of my business affiliates to this site as well. Keep up the great work. I have not been on the site in quite some time, so it may take me some time to get reaquainted with everything, however I look forward to another prosperous and productive year. Many blessings to you & yours, John Cleare
Great site Josh!!

I appreciate being appreciated!
Very good website!! I am a French student in FIU(Miami) doing a Real Estate major. Graduating this year, I hope this website will help me to make contacts in the Real Estate field and find internships and a job. Thank you! Jonathan Teboul jjteboul@gmail.com
Hi Josh. Thanks for the birthday wish! That's kind of odd though... did it just say it was my birthday? My birthday is on Jan. 7 and I thought I screwed up the date on my profile, but it looks right. Did it just say it was my birthday? Anyways, thanks again!
Thanks Josh for your greeting! I'll be busy to get 10 posts done this week!
Nice video Josh! I can safely say that I am VERY motivated to be a Rich Dick!!!
Happy Birthday Josh! I wish you a very blessed and prosperous year! Congrats on the LA Times article! That is wonderful news! And its just the beginning! Enjoy your day!
Josh, I just became a member today. Looks like we have the same investment strategy--buy and hold! Great, easy to use website. Thank you for all your dedicated work! Take a look at what I put out there for saavy investors looking to grab opportunities in central Florida east coast as well as Cape Cod MA. The information is under my profile! Hello to all who already belong!
Hey Josh...Thx for the B-Day shot out! I appreciate it...keep up the GREAT work on the site!
Hey Josh! Thank for this great idea and connection to all sorts of investors, brokers and buyers! Your awesome!
Thanks for the birthday message Josh, 46 is getting old... Need to start getting involved here a little more for apartment building investing.

I am new to the site, but love the information , that I get from it and welcome any comments, It's been a great source ...THANKS!!!all the way from TEXAS ..and the cowgirls!!!
Hey Josh. Thanks for your comment. I'd love to hear about your involvement with local real estate groups, etc. (besides what you've posted on the blog which I read religiously). Plus, I wonder who you know in real estate in Denver...we're the same age and my husband grew up here so I'm wondering if we may know some folks in common...
The new site rocks. Only thing missing is the engineering occupation. I feel left out.
Congrats on being nominated as a Killer Startup. We are now at 22 Killer Points & counting. :o) Wish you the best of luck and much success with this awesome site.
Yes, i got your email. I will try to touch base with you soon. (still have to look through everything)
Josh, This is my new myspace. I liked the old site, but this is so much easier to navigate. Thanks. I also appreciate the way you broke down people's professions. The changes you made are fantastic! It really says alot about how you are meeting the needs of your users. It's very inspiring.
Hey Josh, thanks for the comment And thanks for sharing this site, I absolutely love it!
It was a pleasure talking to you. Have a great night!!
Thank you Mr. Dorkin for such a great improvement on the site. May God bless you.
Hey Josh. This is Murugan. I finally created an account on your website. How are things going at your end. Great I hope. Wish you a phenomenol year 2008. Give me a call sometime.
Good Work on the site Josh and Good Luck with it!
Josh, what's new? Obviously, the site... it looks amazing! We were on vacation for the past 1.5 months, and although it was awesome, it definitely feels great to be getting back into the swing of things. Hope to catch up with you soon, when you get a few spare minutes from the site (yeah right!). ;) Looking forward to a BIG 2008 for BiggerPockets!
Thanks Josh! That picture is of me. We're racing at a local motocross race.
How awesome! I was talking to some IT friends a few weeks ago, and had mentioned the idea of a social networking site geared at real estate investors. There area a million forum boards (and I can never keep up - let alone shift through all the garbage that's posted on so many of them), but really no SE sites. Am so glad you've put the time and effort to creating it. I wish you TONS AND TONS of success, and look forward to the ride. Whoo hoo!
Looks good! This site is going to do big things.
Thanks Josh, BTW, the new site is awesome!!!!
I love the new features! Keep 'em coming.
Yes thanks The site looks great.
Joshua, I think while i was playing around with the new controls I sent that reference request by accident. sorry, but thanks for the honest post.
Thanks Guys!
This is going to be killer. I hope everyone really takes time with this, and gives it the attention it deserves. *spinning high five to joshua*
Looking good Josh, looking real good!
It's 6:57 am Saturday and what looks like the start of a brand new and important phase for BiggerPockets!! Right on!!
