One of the brothers was a tax attorney and was crazy smart at all the things they could do to defer taxes and make investments more beneficial.

Here are a few resources that can help-ABCs of real estate, The Best Ever Podcast With Joe Fairless, and podcasts such as The Multifamily Take-Off, Multifamily Mavericks, The Michael Blank Podcast, and The Real Estate Monopoly Podcast (this is one that my brothers and I started). 

Booze is almost completely gone now -- my brother is a Mormon and I'm pretty sure I drink less than he does.I still like good coffee, but instant coffee and Greek frappe (if you don't know what that is, you're better off) is out.The big wrench in the works happened two years ago when a lot of my renovation physical activity caught up to me and I got arthritis in my hip.

To cash out my brother in laws will take $45K.

@Bruce Woodruff it's a free country, so you can do anything you want.On the other hand, many people jump to conclusions without all the facts and often don't process facts correctly.My manager's brother-in-law belongs to a very exclusive country club - they've host PGA events regularly.They approached our management company about potential rentals that their DOCUMENTED temporary H-1B visa workers could use - with multiple workers staying in the property for the  summer.We couldn't find an owner willing to agree to a short-term lease at an acceptable price.So, how accurate are your assumptions with the limited data posted?
