& later our children.....and still learning new ways to work through things together; how to build up our marriage with love and honor and respect for my husband; also still learning how important it is to remember that we're on the same ship, together — often in deep, scary seas, and remember that he's my husband, not my child or brother and how, too often, I feel that I know what's best, and too often I try to force my opinion, or my wants, but also how in the end, I'm not always right and my way is not always best (or even all that often even all that good, when I really step back & open my heart & swallow my pride -- even when it felt so strongly that way before the arguments that I caused.  

Quote from @Wyatt Wolff: @Evans Wright This looks like your area of expertise sir  Thanks, brother!

My brother and I would like to be co-owners to the new property but our contribution to the purchase of the new home is by way of investment loan, so let's say my parent's home sells for 500k and they want to go in on a $1M piece of property.

Both me and my brother are at this stage at the moment, I'm browsing all loans that I can that will seem beneficial between me and him.

About 1.5 years ago, I purchased (conventional loan) and have been living in a 3x3.5 townhouse with a family member (brother) in a first attempt to start building equity through a house hack/BRRR strategy. 

Seller then can do whatever they want to do, accept or reject offer, call their brothers, sisters, hire appraisers, RE experts, contact a broker or REA to list their property.

With a strong passion for the industry, I am eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share my enthusiasm for real estate investment opportunities.My brother and I have been actively investing in real estate since 2010.

The plan is to get my brother to get an FHA loan (approved for multiplex) and I cough up the dough :P...

My brother-in-law, a fire marshal, told me that even if the smoke detector is a melted lump of plastic and metal, they can easily determine if it was operational at the time of fire. 

He moved to Las Vegas and did pretty good as a real estate man and moved back to Granbury Texas (about an hour from Dallas) where his brother lived.I would not to make such a decision but you have to do what is legal or only accept verifiable employment because you just do not know the liability you are under.
