My brothers (who got the same amount) are going the Index Fund / Stock Market route.

My brother and I are investors in Illinois looking to purchase a multi family with one of the occupants being our parents.

One my brother finishes school, I may sell that home and turn the equity into 1-2 more houses. 

I always tell people: what if it was your mother, sister, brother, that got screwed over by some of these unlicensed brokers?

The only thing I would be concerned is if the tenant would try and fix it themselves or have their brother fix it who is kinda a handyman.

My sister & brother-in-law live in one where 2 out of 3 bedrooms in their place is in the basement with lower than 7.5ft ceilings. 

He's pretty much like a brother to me and is one of the friends I spend a lot of time with... but I don't want to be a video game playing stoner.Something that Josh and Brandon often emphasize here on BiggerPockets is to associate with the kind of people you strive to be like.

My brother is hoping to buy a property from a family member via seller financing.

Real estate attorney robert Irwin he is my brother in law. 

My brother in law is interested in doing some JVS with us so that is fantastic from a capital point of view.One delimma we are facing is having no credit rating yet (slowly working on it but seems to take ages)Anyway that is a little about myself, look forward to meeting many like minded people and learning a lot, hopefully not the hard way!
