Welcome to the community, Evan!

I recently toured a property in Phoenix where solar power and water-saving features cut operational costs by nearly 20%.6.

Drive around the neighborhoods to understand the lay of the land - if you have someone who will take you around and explain, better yet. 

STR is a bit weird because the Covid travel demand pushed the price hardcore for the last few years. 

@Jeff Nash, noted the two year period. 

Signing the lease demonstrates they agree to the terms and then you can hold them accountable.If you don't do this, then the person named on the lease and paying the rent could disappear and you would have no legal authority to charge the remaining three for unpaid rent.

If a landlord plans to hold the property for a while, we always recommend an annual lease, ending to align with the summer leading lesson, or staggered with their other leases depending on the situation.  

And given that, in a major city, there are hundreds of houses put on the market weekly, you need a method to efficiently screen properties to make sure they won't bleed money before you spend time analyzing, touring them ect. 

The seller receiving cash to reinvest or lend and the buyer to receive the payments on the thousands of loans within the MBS.

Hi Kin,Transferring your share of the property to your brother may have tax implications, including gift tax if the transfer is considered a gift.
