Does anyone list particular debt limits (like, "no debt in excess of $1000 that isn't in a payment plan") as part of their screening criteria?

I also don't know if changing the insurance policy would also require me to loose the homestead exemption and DV discount on the property taxes. 

Evaluate risk and minimize as best as possible..you can loose a lot more with the wrong tenant. 

Hey @Julia France, You maybe do NOT want to use bonus depreciation if the losses created are excessive passive losses and you don't have a lot of passive income.

I've raised in excess of 20 Million over the last 10 years and the best advice I can give is do not ask for money.

I can't afford to loose this money.Darling...  

I'm concerned now and for the future loosely sharing plans that have costed me and my partners a good amount of money.  

If you don't you're going to loose money.

@Carlos Ptriawan @Jay Hinrichs Residential ground leases in Maryland (Baltimore City mainly but also surrounding counties) are typically 99-year leases renewable in perpetuity, meaning as long as the rent continues to be paid the lease is automatically renewed for 99 more.No pay or slow pay and you can loose your leasehold property.You can "redeem" the ground (well except for "irredeemable" ground rents, but those are quite rare and another story) by buying out the owner of the fee simple interest a cap rate formula based upon the date the original lease was created.

Buy for 1.5 MM, Pay 25% down, loose $500 every month.
