I’ve been exploring strategies like the BRRRR and am keen to hear about others' experiences.I’m here to learn, share ideas, and contribute wherever possible.

If it’s a structured settlement and you aren’t getting a lump lum, you could contribute some of that to a Roth or Traditional IRA each year, or if you are self employed even more to a SEP IRA.Also what’s your short term, mid term and long term objectives?

Though I have not personally contributed to these investments for tax credits, I have personally seen these investments in action and these investments can help provide more supply of housing and development that would otherwise not be there.

I understand alot variables contribute to this question so if you're free please pm.

Depending on how bad the conditions are, accrued pref may never be paid out and original contribution may not be returned in full.If pref equity's original capital contribution is not returned in full, common equity is in even worse shape.

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of opportunities to share insights while also connecting with other professionals and investors who can help broaden your understanding of real estate.Looking forward to seeing your contributions and following your journey as you get more involved.

Look into areas with lower price points and solid rental demand this can allow you to start investing without the pressure of high local prices.Your brother’s contribution gives you financial flexibility, so use this time to find a property that fits your needs without rushing.

Knowing what I know now, I will never contribute to Roth, only pre-tax.

Pricing in DFW probably means you wont live rent free,and will have to pay your fair share of normal rent, but you also get 3 more people contributing to your loan paydown and you get to keep the appreciation.Buy hey...maybe I'm wrong....go talk to a local bank or credit union near where you live and get a term sheet from them for financing. 

With that being said, what you described sounds like Owner Contribution (initial reserves / deposits by the investor).
