It has been a couple days and have not seen an answer.If you own a rental property and you have a signed lease at the minimum of 1+ year, does that rental property mortgage (traditional investment loan) still count against your DTI?

We used to own all of our houses but are about 50/50 lease vs. own, mainly because leasing allows us to move faster when opening additional houses.

The IRS requires the hours to be specifically in real estate trades or businesses, which typically means activities directly related to owning, developing, operating, or managing real estate properties.IRS Publication 925 outlines what counts as real estate trade or business activities, like development, construction, acquisition, management, leasing, and rental operations.

The tenant is less likely to trash a place or violate the lease if you hold a large chunk of money. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Wondering if you have any particular online companies you recommend that checks evictions, credit reports, collects rents, provides a lease, etc... all in one place. what are some of the pros and cons you have experienced with each company. thanks

For single-family and multi-family rentals - plan to put 20-25% down on investment properties.If you find a rental from 2-4 units with a month to month lease or a vacant unit that you could technically move into/would move into after buying within 60 days - plan to put 3.5-5% down.
