The property is one of 3 that was a part of a bigger property owned by the neighboring family that got split, we purchased this one from the neighbors' brother.

I had a beer with my brother recently and after I laid out my path forward with all the numbers involved, he said “you can’t afford to stay” … pension won’t be worth enough to justify staying in a job that has a pretty hard cap on earnings for a pension that won’t be worth enough to make a difference in my life, let alone the lives of my children.

Preach it brother!

Your first purchase with your brother should be a house hack of a multi.

Truth brother.

. 🍻 Thanks brother, I sent you a connect message. 

There's never a wrong time to buy real estate as long as the numbers make sense brother!! 

That was the largest part of my financing but in addition I did end up having to ask my older brother to co-sign for me because the underwriters just could not trust the 1099 contractor status given the volatile industry I was in during 2020.

Just trying to think of a creative way to buy it so my mom and brother don't  have to move out.

I'm just teasing you, brother.
