@Adam Martin You will absolutely need an attorney to hammer out the details, but at a high level I would recommend the following structure: - New LLC which both of you own 50/50 - That LLC pays your brother's PM company for management as a third party (he could charge slightly below what he might charge for other clients, but keep the asset management and the property management separate, and just treat PM as part of the asset's operating expenses) - Rather than loan your brother money, you are the capital investor in the LLC, in which case you put up all the equity.

tear out the old floor  that can save nice chunk of change all you need ,hammer ,flat bar ,Channel locks 

I am going to laugh very hard if the hammer ever comes down on those that have performed appraisals illegally.

FRAUDS AND SCAMMERS that want to drag the OP into their illegal activitiesThere you go OP, its not even a fine line in FL, its a big broad-stroke line of just don't do it or expect the hammer, they are watching close.

Threw the old couches, mattresses, dressers, general trash, diapers, etc into the swimming pool, ruining the plaster, smashed all the water turn off valves under the sinks and washing machine with a hammer, tub full of **** and urine, clogged with a towel, toilet pulled from the floor, stove and oven smashed with a hammer, etc. 

Get angry, blame immigrants, and pull out the jack hammer?

I'm really trying to hammer away at these seller finance options, and when I open up the discussion with the seller about it, then I'll probably contact an attorney or one of the realtors I have as a contact in the area, to see if she'd be able to assist (they have internal legal teams).

Hammered out some very long days and have a renter lined up.

better safe than sorry", which is why I suggested all 3 be present.I'm sure the LLC Operating Agreement should hold the key, but I'm no lawyer and am in no position to offer advice.I'm thinking the General Partner can execute on behalf of all members, but that would be for my clients and their attorney to hammer out.Thanks for the reply and reinforcing my own gut feeling on the matter.Accepted your request, too. 

Even a good plumber carries a hammer around with her because sometimes a wrench just can't do the job.
