My brother is unable to build at this point in time.

But it could be an interesting squeeze between consumers refusing (read: unable) to pay much higher rents, and new landlords unable to acquire properties without charging the higher rents to be able to make a profit?

The best advice I ever got was to not only clearly define roles of the partnership, which is hugely important, but also to clearly define, up front, how each of you can exit the partnership: what are the financial implications, responsibilities of the exiting partner, and so on.I've had one partner whose day job suddenly doubled in workload, leaving him unable to contribute to our efforts.

If that is the case and since you are unable to take portion of the property (say garage door or a bedroom) as a distribution, you will have to liquidate the asset.Now if you buy property all cash now and have few years to collect the cash flow and build up cash reserves in your 401k, when time comes, you will have enough cash reserves and the property will continue to cash flow.The bottom line is that you need to plan for it and have enough liquid funds to allow for RMD.
