I'm inclined to start with a young student and mold them.

As a property manager myself my natural inclination would be to tell you to hold it.

I would be inclined to keep it the same or up it slightly $10/month and ask them if there is something they would like done with the apartment.

I suppose this would be most common, since investors are out doing whatever and don't have the time or inclinations to be talking with a Realtor, property managers, builders, etc.just give them the figures, the return percentage and be done with it.However, The 3rd party I'm speaking with is doing zero follow up or looking into the details of what I'm sending him.

I am currently building my credit score so I can get decent conventional loan terms by next year.I am very mechanically inclined, have a brother in construction management, and a father that gen. contracted/built his home.

The fact that the house got two offers in its first week also makes me somewhat inclined towards it.Your points make absolutely perfect sense to pass on to this loan.

Also exploring the community and the resources on BP - including the people.Not real inclined to construction or to run rehab crews, but not ruling out much right now.Looking forward to sharing.Thanks.Tom

Also, the builder is just finishing up in Spanish Oaks, and builders are more inclined to sell the last of their inventory in a neighborhood at a discount. 

Seeing as the association is owed money from him they would probably be inclined to help you get his correct contact information if he gave you fake contact information.

My inclination is to try to partner with a more experienced investor on a deal in order to learn the ropes.
