Many, many people on podcasts only have a few years of experience (not all, but like @Jaron Walling notes, you can save yourself a lot of time if you skip over the people on podcasts that have only been investing the last 5 yrs or less).

I have access to some great resources, been researching, decided my market ( absentee to begin) even hv skip traced last night.

You can request to join the facebook group here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/RREEGThere is also a monthly meetup at The Green Goat on the on the last Thursday of every month at 6:00.

Again, if you are close to your brother, make it the best partnership that can last forever.
