Greetings all!! My name is Mel Jones. I have been looking at the BP site for the last year and a half. I signed up in  June of this year and this is my first post.I'm originally from NYC, specifically the Bronx. I've been in California almost 20 years after spending time in the Seattle area courtesy of the U.S. Navy.

I've worked as an electrician for 10 years doing commercial and residential wiring. I went back to school and got my degree in Healthcare Administration and was working in the dialysis field up until April of this year.

Real estate investing has always been something that interested me. Ever since my Navy days. I am in the process of starting my own business and focus on real estate investing. I am not sure what aspect of investing I want to focus on but whatever I decide I will give 100% of my energy to accomplish my goals. There are a lot of resources on this site that I have been looking at that are very good. A lot of great information. And I'm looking forward to the webinar later this evening. Thanks everyone. Looking forward to meeting, learning and working with fellow investors on Bigger Pockets.
