Any other ways you guys can think of on going about finding him?

If you have the stomach, patience, resources and expertise to sort out the truth while the bills run on, go for it.If not, take good notes and be grateful you passed in the opportunity.

Reduces confusion.I offer less of an escalation if the TB is handling more of the ongoing repair and maintenance responsibilities.  

@Cody Race I ran a vacation rental / property management business in the Cape Haze area for a period of time.

I ran it, I may not have run it correctly on a property listed on the marketplace, but I ran it.

Not all criminals are created equal.Just yesterday, I ran a background check for an applicant.

Just keep on going no matter what.  

I briefly looked into the possibility and everything I ran into seemed negative. 

Personally I'd love to have a mentor that will guide me through finding and closing my first apartment complex deal, teach me creative financing and what they know in general, and if they deliver on their end I will deliver on my end and take care of them by giving them a stake in the deal which will continue to give and pay back ongoing month after month, and when the property sells they will be generously compensated again.

But the far greater returns she will likely realize not investing into real estate will replace that cost much quicker than the anticipated returns on a real estate portfolio will replace the fees associated with that asset category, and the utilization of a property management firm to manage the portfolio will come along with an average annual and ongoing cost of 10% per year...every year, where as the taxes are a one time hit.I'm advising you to consider this alternative and to engage the rest of the sibling group in a conversation with your mother as to the overall wishes, desires and individual and collective thoughts on the matter at the same time.
