Well done brother!

My brother lives in oklahoma.

Example: both sisters and one brother, go without financing. 

I renovated one of my houses in 2 weeks with my brother and had it rented out for 1100 on the third.  

Your podcast episode with your brother was one of the first ones I listened to (and your dad’s) and what got me and my husband super motivated :) 

At the moment my brother and I are thinking which state to invest in.

Just to clarify a few things: I used a conventional loan to buy the house in CA with my brother.

As far as avoiding bad areas your real estate agent in Toledo can surely advise you which are good/bad, or yes just ask on bp lol.Thanks for the link brother, I appreciate it and appreciate your involvement and contributions to BP. 

This property was only a few houses up from my husband's parents and his brother's family.

A little background information im currently in the navy but getting out in December and moving back to Rock Hill SC in July, i have a small savings and im starting school again come January. once December hits i will lose my Military pay and rely on GI bill BAH and what ever i make off a part time while i am in school. ive thought of purchasing my first home when i hit SC and using my military income to get approved for a loan and house hack, ive also thought about moving in with my brother and saving the 5-6K a month the military pays me for the last 6 months of my service, which would boost my savings quite a bit, but without the steady income from the military after, I see getting a loan quite difficult. thoughts?
