Now my main issue is I need a fire detection system in a enclosed back porch that leads up to all three floors, but I don't know what's the minimum I would need to be compliant or that the fire marshall is suggesting what he wants or recommends.

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

Additionally, your brother would inherit your cost basis for the gifted portion, potentially leading to higher capital gains taxes if he sells later.

Quote from @Milly Owens: You may be right James, then again you would have a hard time convincing Asser...since the program reimbursed him his initial investment of $1,000 and then paid him $10,000 for the lead!

When the lead came in, it was from a brother who inherited a house from his mom.

Capital raising lead generation tools, email templates, automations, and automated processes.

I bought the book also & the link leading me to Biggerpockets does not work either & gives me the same error!

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Trustin your PM partner is important and they will follow your lead, so don't expect them to provide you with your business plan. 

This motivation lead me and a business partner to start Raise the Standard Property Management.
