Looking forward to connecting with you in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti

[Alexander Ball]

Hi BP Community,

The super sleuths out there may see that I have been 'on' BP for seven years.  I think the gap in use and the wisdom that seven years has brought me warrants a new introduction.

Hello!  My name is Alex Ball, and I am an academic at heart, and a non-profit bureaucrat by trade.  I turn 30 this year and recognized that while I do important, life-saving work I make a pittance compared to my talents, skills, abilities, and frankly -- desires.

I own a home in south Belleville, which was an emotion purchase based on the needs of my family member. As he ages, he desires less space and so I am looking to start my REI career with a househack in the Ypsi/Ann Arbor area. It is where I want to live, and I know I can find a deal if I look hard enough and I am willing to sacrifice.

I'm planning on going back to school for my graduate degree soon, and I believe I have turned a corner recently in what I want and realizing what I need to do to get there.  I think Real Estate is right square in the middle of the vin diagram of Alex's Interests and Alex's Strengths.

I'd love to speak with you, learn more about REI, help you out in some way to make myself indispensable to you. Please drop me a line if you're interested in finding some way we can help each other. I am a rank newbie, but I am intelligent, hard-working, people oriented, and passionate. There has got to be something there that you could use!

Thanks for reading.
