Hi,I had a tenant who left without notice, but I come to find out that my tenants brother is living at the apartment with a friend (neither one is on the lease and I was never notified of this).

http://www.biggerpockets.com/users/rmoranI have been through exactly what you are talking about recently.My older brother passed away and he had no kids, no spouse and no will.

My goal is to try and pick up at least 3-4 more cash-flowing rental properties in the next 2 years between my wife and myself.Separately, I started talking with my brother-in-law @Daniel Lipetzky  about how great real estate investing could be.  

I bought my 1st house a year ago with my brother (84k).

He is also a long time family friend( my little brother and his sons have been friend since 1996).

For smaller tasks that don't require a license and bond, my brother in law is my go-to guy.

sorry bro, this program won't support flipping houses , because this home would need to be your primary residence , and you must occupy for one year , there are some to ther reason however they escape me right now 

My brother has been very successful as of late and has inspired me to learn the business.  

It's a guy and his brother.....they came in last week, removed a bunch of wallpaper, skim coated over all those areas and patched a bunch of holes.  

I'm bad with Hawaii geography....my brother lives in Kona.
