Depending on the loan product, you may be able to exclude business debt once the business has paid the debt directly for 12 months.The income and losses related to the operation of the entity will affect the income side of your DTI (like Jay explained) if you own 25% or more of the entity.

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.
