I feel bad that she is lonely, needs attention, and sounds like she has had bad experience with her past investments.

Bloody oath I do mate.It's never their fault and always yours (Ours).They rarely take any responsibility and cry victim.It's crazy to think but it's like many intentionally look for drama and deep down inside don't want success but rather problems.Someone to dislike and blame and to feel wronged by.All other personal and "at home" issues can now be blamed on this one unfortunate scenario.This "drama" per se is like food for the hungry and they need such drama in life to "survive".My apologies if my above comments sound weird as they are more so from a philosophical standpoint and just some thoughts that I have considered after 5,000+ investor intro calls and as you have mentioned, others feeling wronged by me or my company on many occasions.What a $#@% way to live IMO but I don't judge and sleep in peace.Again, I have been "wronged" by many but consider it my own fault.I also don't call them out publicly or post bad reviews, etc... 

Programs that market themselves as shortcuts often cannot replace the depth of understanding that comes from study, experience, and engagement with the legal framework surrounding real estate.Consider taking time to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations.

And you're right about avoiding weekly travel—sound systems can save you time and stress!

Most invest in these smaller assets focusing on wrong criteria leading them to markets without meaningful appreciation and even when they do stumble across a market with strong fundamentals they do not understand  real estate finance and/or fail to exit these assets when they the appreciation event occurs wrongly focusing on rental cash flow.The ability to combine a high earning W2 with a sound investment thesis is a winning recipe but not realistic for most.

It sounds like you’re in a great position to start your real estate journey, especially with your brother as a built-in renter.

They uncover a lot of problems with these properties.It sounds like you have enough to work with to appeal their process.
