href="http://www.biggerpockets.com/">BiggerPockets</a> &#8211; an online community of real estate investors. All you need is a slight interest in real estate investment and Google. Chances are that if you have ever researched something related to real estate investing, you have stumbled across BiggerPockets.com.</p><p>I am always fascinated by a good website but more so by its founder(s). Every time I visit one, I immediately start to research who was behind it. So was the case with BiggerPockets a few years back. As soon as I visited the website for the first time I wanted to know who was behind it. It is extremely inspiring to learn from people like <a
href="http://www.facebook.com/joshuadorkinbp">Josh Dorkin</a>, the founder of BiggerPockets.com.</p><p>Josh started the the website in 2004 and today BiggerPockets is an extremely vibrant community of real estate investors with over 60,000 active members.</p><p
style="text-align: left;">If you are like me, wondering why did Josh start such a website, watch the video bellow:</p><p

href="http://www.biggerpockets.com/properties">investment properties</a>.</p><p>And here is another short video in which Josh tells you how you can benefit from being a part of BiggerPockets- the community of real estate investors:</p><p

If I do, BiggerPockets will be the first place I will turn to and not the &#8220;real-estate-&#8221;gurus&#8221;-who-sell-their-books-on-TV&#8221;. BiggerPockets is a community of real investors many of whom are more experienced and more successful that any given &#8220;guru&#8221; you see selling their books on TV.</p><p>I understand that Josh is planing to make plenty of new videos for BiggerPockets- so I might be posting few of those in the future.</p><p>Now go and explore this wonderful resource of <a
