For example, one brother buys a condo and another brother makes the payment.

My brother is looking to buy a new car.

Look at Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld.

Me, my brother and my sister signed a quit claim deed to allow my mom to live in the house.

Personally, I contacted a title company and they gave me the name of a CPA who was hooked to a brother in law attorney who held the money in his escrow account.When the time came to get my $25,000 the doors were locked to the accounting firm and the law firm never heard of me or my money.

I have a brother-in-law who foams at the mouth when he talks about Bush and how they are going to impeach him after the election (not gonna happen) and try him for war crimes after Obama is in office (again, just won't happen) and how if McCain wins the draft is coming back.

Back when I was buying places down here in partnership with my brother (lives in the East Bay) he had to tell me to "quit talking about the property-just tell me how much money to send".

The first worked great as I was the one on site doing the work, although my brother and sister in law flew done a couple of times to do roofs.

I remember selling my brothers home, a smart investor but a rotten do it yourself-er.

There is enough regulation from big brother.
