Q: I’m considering buying an investment property with my brother, but he’s able to invest more than I can. Can we own different percentages of the property?

A: Yes, you can! In California, two individuals can take title to real property as tenants-in-common, and in whichever percentages the owners agree on. For example, your brother could own a 75% interest as a tenant-in-common while you own a 25% interest as a tenant-in-common.
