[Eric White]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Eric and I am new to BiggerPockets and real estate investing in general. I am eager to learn the ins and outs of real estate and am reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, by Gary Keller to get the ball rolling.

My goal is to own my first property by September 2016, and from what I have read and seen thus far a 'Buy and Rent' strategy sounds most appealing and an area I will focus on to start out.

Although reading and learning about something is great, nothing compares to getting out there and doing it. That being said, I'd certainly be willing to put in some work with a more experienced real estate investor(s) (research, paper work, etc.) for that valuable real world experience and education.

I currently work for a tech company in New York, but do have a financial background. I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in accounting, worked at Ernst & Young for a few years, and also have my CPA.

Looking forward to meeting some new people!

Eric
