I always like to use polished nickel for its warmth, shine and timeless appeal. 

Don't use it strictly as a tool to turn the property into one you want to live in. 

This is a business.

It's always better to check with your brother's CPA since he has all the background, but I would say short-term rental with material participation requirements met by your brother, then do cost segregation.

I use this and share with my team (i.e) drone photographers, VAs, reatlors, partners, etc.Zoho Forms, I use this to collect info from leads, buyers, etc.Zoho Desk, this is a ticketing where all inquires go to and since it integrates with Zoho Forms, it creates a ticket within Zoho Desk + New Lead within Zoho.Zoho Cliq, similar to slack, I communicate with my team with this software.

People had to move to used  or as we did had to open more services to match different box configurations.  

Is this a new build?  

Is this something you use outsourced resources, or are there others on staff that do handle this aspect of things? 

Quote from @David Sotomayor: Im getting into fix and flip real estate and working with a private lender who requires a higher credit score than mine to qualify.

Until you have $1 million or more in equity and really understand how to use an LLC, I recommend you just buy an umbrella insurance policy for $1 million.
