By turning your property into Section 8 you can pick up a tax credit that is about 30% of the buiding market value. 

You picked the wrong kind of property to start in as a 3/3.1 townhouse is not ideal for room hacking and is more residential in nature which is why you should sell it and take the proceeds and deposit money and look for a two-family where you and your brother can live in one side and you can full rent the other side - maybe even as a mid-term rental to 2x the rent.
