You could convert them to a DSCR loan but then transfer them to a LLCWhat we have done is save for down payments and renovation costs, - buy properties that need work rehab them and then refinance them out making sure it meets our dti.

It hurts the tenants ability to find another rental, nobody wins, and it takes forever costing you money. 

You need the backup option in case the mid-term rental market changes.Minimizing turn costs and downtime is critical.

I have had investors pull equity from their homes in the phoenix area to buy cash flowing properties in Fayetteville and similar areas, because the price growth in the phoenix area generates amazing returns.It depends on if you want cashflow now or delayed gratification later.Keep in mind that when you do sell, there are costs to selling and depreciation recapture  and IRS taxes, which eat up most of your "equity" growth. 

I cook my own food, can I bill myself for that and write off all my food costs? 

In doing so, bear in mind that the cost and admin of a corporation is higher and that the tax treatment is different:1.
