Joshua Dorkin is the founder and CEO of the country’s most dynamic real estate investing network, BiggerPockets.com. With a background as a real estate agent, investor, web-designer, and entrepreneur, Dorkin embarked on a quest almost six years ago to build what was to become the premier website for networking, learning, deal making, and marketing for the real estate space.
He has helped hundreds of thousands of people navigate the often confusing waters that constitute the real estate world, came to the aid of thousands of victims of a real estate ponzi scheme, prevented countless people from buying bad investments, been the facilitator to real estate deals, helped people buy and sell homes, and much more.
Dorkin is the managing editor and lead author of the official BiggerPockets Blog, which is consistently named as one of the tops in real estate.
As a result of his work on BiggerPockets, many of this nation’s most important national, regional and local news organizations have turned to him, including:
CBS News Radio, Los Angeles Times, Long Island Newsday, USA Today, US News & World Report, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, MSN Money, Reuters, Chicago Sun Times, Fox Business, Palm Beach Post, and Google News among just a few.
A New York native, Dorkin holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and marketing from Washington University in St. Louis. He spent several years in the entertainment business as independent film producer, casting agent, and actor, before entering the field of teaching and eventually the world of the world wide web.
