So long story short we have a traveling nurse staying at our rental that got some water damage when the roof was being replaced, they don't have renter's insurance (which we require in the renter's agreement they sign), water damage has been remedied and is cosmetically minimally affected and still very much in a liveable state.

I really appreciate any input and thoughts to help gut-check my matrix before signing the PSA.

Back when I signed up, I used my last savings to join; it was scary.

Both buyer and listing agent commissions will need to be agreed to by the buyer and seller as part of the purchase agreement (not simply disclosed after the fact, like under previous rules in most states).When you are a buyer, and want to view an MLS listed home, you will have to sign an agreement.

I will paint all, replace rugs (rugs are only in BR), replace any shutoffs that show any signs of wear, at least one shower cartridge needs change, change all blinds.  

If booking direct and he has no reviews I would have him sign a simple lease, do a BG check, and have a reasonable deposit.

It sounds like the project is getting a lot of pushback from locals but potentially worse than that is that the article says Shared Estates had until 9/1/2024 to raise the money for the development, but now they've altered the agreement to give the fund until end of 2025 to raise the money.A representative of the town is quoted in article as saying that after signing the agreement in January, Shared Estates examined it's finances and asked to have the agreement changed.So potentially the projects I invested in aren't doing well, or they're doing fine but funds from those projects are being diverted elsewhere.

It is ok to ask for financials etc. may need to sign a NDA or make an offer based on what you think the financials are and then adjust.

Has anyone signed up to the Out of State Investor Academy, and if so, how do you like it?

If your brother doesn't help with co-signing, I would suggest purchasing your own property.
