My brother has lived in it rent-free for that time.

My brother manages a tenant who pays 1 year at a time and they are absolutely fine.

I have a brother who just graduated from UNF and got a job in the mortgage department with Merrill Lynch there. 

That link I posted is to a story where there were over 40 shell casings, between 2 guys who grew up as "brothers". 

They were basically accidental landlords, who worked hard at their other professions, who were lucky to have good tenants.These building will pass down to the sibling ( my friend) and his brother  as inheritance and will be 50/50 ownership. 

If the family members are aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters or niece and nephew those members are ok. 

My brother is a lawyer, and he told me that I need to evict him because he's taking advantage of me.

I'm a former touring musician and for the last 8 years i've been running a private label clothing company with my brother, with retail in Brooklyn, NY and design and production all done out here in Los Angeles, all made in USA!

Based on area comps including the 100 units right next door, I believe the rents could be  $14,900 a month after a renovation with an NOI of $95k per year prior to the debt service.If I partnered with my brother for $100k ea (half of the after reno. down payment), do you wait to get paid back until the refi or on the cashflow?

My brother is a plumber in Loveland, CO.
