I would just talk to a relative and explain the property situation and that you believe you could help if they are so inclined, and then give them some room to think and sort things out.

I have a BS in hotel management so my inclination has always been toward the hospitality end-I like people.

Does the property have some issue that discourages most lookers (so you become inclined to take the first "yes")?

Their particular unit also suffered from deferred maintenance and pets (3 dogs).My first inclination was to get rid of the existing tenants, rejuvenate the unit and list it at market rent.

People are more inclined to give advice and communicate in general with a person that has a profile picture.

Since the owners live out of state they are probably not inclined to rehab this property to get it to market value.

I am inclined to believe that some of these HAP homes being auctioned on the GSA website might end up being a deal in smaller towns with less investor activity.

Hi Darren,I'm in the process of applying for a grad position but my biggest concern is that I may be narrowing my focus too early and whereas I already have an inclination towards real estate I have been advised to consider broadening myself as a financier in the early years.

If you are so inclined, I'd have a little fun with them and ask for POF of the $5k.

In fact the more someone attempts to posture with me the less inclined I am to deal with them (unless on a particular business transaction I can enjoy seeing them crumble when I present to them my own proposition, there is nothing more fun than intimidating, or at least greatly infuriating, the intimidators).
