I do manage the property remotely and only come to town to solve a significant problem that is too much to ask of a co-host.

I’m curious on two levels- 1) just to see how this process goes and turns out2) we could maybe buy your interest now if you want out

Will depend on each individual's comfort level. 

I'm thinking about going through my old associate(who was an employee of my current manager).

Priceless info for real estate investors at any level.

With Great Credit and Great Income.My plan/question: -I want to cosign/co-borrow an FHA loan for 4-Unit with my brother.

With that in mind once you reach that level of savings you should be able to spend more freely.When you have more savings than you will need to take you to the grave you are ready to live less frugally. 

You can then participate in the CVS 401k as an employee of that company and separately in your own Solo 401(k) as an employee of your business (realtor).The Solo 401(k) can be used to diversify that pile of tax-sheltered savings. 

If you co-mingle with your own funds then it can be messy.

I say that just reading about the level of interest and people actually showing up.
