I've had nothing but price gouging and overall terrible service when it has come to dealing with single family homes.I wanted to say thank you to everyone that reached out and provided their help and I'll hopefully see some of you in the PassivePockets forum.I wouldn't quit brother, just learn from it and keep going.

The first property is a condo, and my wife and I own 90% of it, and my brother-in-law owns 10%.

I would avoid Holly Hill, Daytona's ghetto, like the plague because the oldest profession seems to be a major profession there if you know what I mean.The Daytona area is a bit or of my way, and my brother-in-law had frequently complained about finding a nice property that turns out to be in Holly Hill.Nearby Ormond Beach and Port Orange seem like nice communities in comparison.

Our slow season is months with some of the best weather IMO and people come here to escape bad weather further North.

It does not matter if it's your mother, brother or someone you do not know - the moment you start commingling funds is when you star getting into securities. 

From the WSJ yesterday:A $10 Billion Real-Estate Fund Is Bleeding Cash and Running Out of OptionsA giant commercial real-estate fund is scrambling to escape a looming cash crunch caused by the long line of investors who want their money back.The $10 billion fund from Starwood Capital Group has been trying to preserve its available cash and credit by limiting investor redemptions.

LOL brother. 

Going lead free in old homes that are pretty 1950 usually means eliminating old radiators, getting the lead off them, or replacing them as well as eliminating all old trim aa well as cornices and even fire escapes. 

Me and My brother have found this great office building for sale on the same block as a very expensive private college.
