My brother and I would like to be co-owners to the new property but our contribution to the purchase of the new home is by way of investment loan, so let's say my parent's home sells for 500k and they want to go in on a $1M piece of property.

Maybe you could bring in a partner on this deal for a piece of the action. 

Unfortunately, I have quickly realized the mortgage is much too steep a payment to promote a net positive cashflow even with all rooms rented.

It shows how difficult it is for one to make blanket statements about an entire city, and for the investor why it is difficult to take individual pieces of advice, void of context. 

Be sure to talk with your guys the expectations for "clean up" as ours was still caked in layers of dirt, but the guys swept up the broken floor and pieces. 

Another piece is setting up group showings or walking properties.

Getting creative about using your primary as a chess piece for your investment journey is just fun and probably the best way to hit the fast forward button on your investment journey (so long as your reserves and marriage are strong enough to handle it).

Super higher leverage that the purchase can't be approved by agency loan.In all practicallity , the era of 2016-2020 by aggregate should only produce 7-8% IRR if one correctly and conservatively.They targeted the naives investor in biggerpocket that lacks basic real estate valuation.The real problem is really the era of 2015-2020 where folks are treating CRE just like OTCBB pink stock and promoting it as a safe haven.

Thankfully I have friends and family that have done well, so I think I can pull out a sizeable fund $500K+) without going the syndication route, but I appreciate the comment.Syndicators usually get what in slang is called “promote”.
