Do you have a trusted lender to direct these questions to? They are they one that would be able to lay this out for you guys in understandable terms. If you need a recommendation I'd be glad to provide. 

As some of the above comments said- don't go into this blindly or you risk creating a situation where 5 years from now you and your siblings no longer speak. Put money aside for repairs, figure out main points up front (and write them down so it's not he said/she said), and just generally make sure you're all on the same page with everything from repairs to timelines and exiting the property. 

Good luck!

Not sure of which state has the highest, but I’m sure cities with higher cost of living (NYC, LA) have higher voucher amounts. I’m in NYC- a client of mine exclusively buys studios or 1 bedroom apartments for CityFheps (a voucher program as well)…they pay over $2500/month for a studio! I’m sure you won’t get that in many other places.

We created Ready For Launch in 2023 as a monthly RE Investing Meetup Group. A few months in we’ve decided to fully RElaunch it and add a lot of stuff.

The Panel: A dynamic group of professionals from the real estate industry, including mortgage brokers, attorneys, and architects, ready to answer your questions and provide expert advice

Private Facebook Group: Exclusive access for meeting attendees. A platform for discussions, Q&As, property listings, and networking with like minded individuals

Syndicate Investing: An innovative opportunity to collaborate on deals, sharing both expenses and profits, making it easier to start with less capital while surrounded by experienced investors

Network Sheet Access: Gain access to a curated list of reliable contacts, from CPAs to contractors, all tried and tested, now available for your ventures

Property Deep Dives: Each meeting features in-depth analysis of active properties with high potential, encouraging open discussions on potential investment opportunities

For our first meeting with all of our updates, we are going to have a panel discussion on Buying Your First Real Estate Investment Property. Come by for refreshments, networking and major knowledge and value!
