Hi BP'ers!

I'm a new member living in Lansing, Michigan and I'm about to graduate from Michigan State University with an MS in Urban Planning. Go State! I currently own 2 SFR's in Lansing, one I live in, one I'm fixing up. In fact, that is how I found BP - I was searching for some fixer-upper advice on Google. I'm going to list both of them soon so I can relocate when I find a job.

I'm originally from Bloomington, Indiana. Go Hoosiers! Indiana University-Bloomington is where I earned my BA in Geography. Also, I own a vacant land property just outside Bloomington. I listed it too so I can take all the investment money I have to my name and make a fresh start in a new geography.

Did I say I'm graduating soon? Well I am and I'm looking for a job in either the Urban Planning or Geospatial Analysis arena. Actually, it would be ideal if I could score a job where I can do both! And, I want to find my new job in a hot real estate market that still has room to grow. That way I can augment my vertical job income with some horizontal passive income (a little something I picked up on from the BP podcast with Pat Hiban).

Finally, I'm looking forward to participating in the Forums. I expect I will best be able to answer geography- and urban planning-focused questions. I'm not afraid to ask my own questions either. Thanks for reading!
