I am looking to JV with my brother where I will do the real estate investing (finding deals, property management, etc.) and my brother will fund it from his business account. 

Hey I’m excited to learn as much as I can and am ready to purchase my first property in the next 12 months!

Networking can provide valuable insights and opportunities.7) Get Pre-Approved for Financing: If you plan to buy property, secure financing by getting pre-approved for a mortgage or exploring other funding options.8) Start Small: Consider beginning with a smaller property or investment, such as a single-family home or a small multi-family unit, to minimize risk.9) Conduct Due Diligence: When you find a property of interest, perform thorough inspections, research the title, and assess potential for appreciation and cash flow.10) Take Action: Once you're ready, make an offer and start your real estate journey.

We are considering building 4-5 duplex's on the property over the course of a few years so we can pay them down as we go.

So you're buying a property 'normally'. 

I'm looking at getting into the world of property management via a franchise.

I suspect they won't be able to make it and being a new landlord, don't have any experience with this aspect of property management.
