For example, give your brother a 70% share of the property, but only if he establishes a significant reserve fund available if anything goes wrong. 

Thanks again Respectfully, Angeil

Also you'd be counting on the market to stay the same for 10 years with respect to mortgages.  

@Lewis Daniel I respectfully disagree with Alexander as far as google being the best trainer for real estate agents.

It also established different forms of communication with potential sellers on my direct mail list.

This will typically be your established older neighborhoods in a lower price range.  

However, so far they have been polite, on time, respectful, organized, and have cleared all the application screening questions.

Getting the credit history established was the biggest hurdle for me, and a quick trip to the bank can tell you where you sit on the spectrum and what you can afford. 

However, I get a sense that the seller-provided information is incomplete -- most notably whether there are any rehab costs necessary.Finally, as I'm still waiting on my lender's reply on what I qualify for, I used the 3.875% rate I previously qualified for with respect to a SFR purchase.
