My extensive experience with heirs and probate tells me that nothing is as simple as just buying your BIL out.

So, with no foundational knowledge of real property, and no capital, his only alternatives are (1) “bluff” the homeowner into thinking he has the money and intent to close the purchase himself and or convince the homeowner he has an extensive list of cash ready interested buyers (“partners”) with whom he’s done dozens of prior deals or (2) pack up shop, write off the money invested in mentoring to a worthless investment, and decide IF real estate is right for home.  

I did not do extensive research.

I have spoken with him extensively about the strategy.

I've done extensive research and familiarized myself with the basics, I believe there's no substitute for real-world experience and practical advice. 

The Rewey’s have an extensive library of presentations on every topic imaginable which I found very helpful.

I always recommend to my clients and prospects to get an insurance coverage that is as extensive as possible.

Up until recently I had been doing my own book keeping for both which was a terrible idea haha; I have gotten extensions on my taxes for the past 5 years because i manually itemized all expenses I did not keep up with throughout the year on EXCEL.

The end that just won’t end: they asked for several extensions as they were not able to secure housing they liked enough… i allowed the extensions.

Any thoughts as to using the Lease extension vs Lease agreement form?
