If I JV on a property..as its my 1st one... does this prevent me from using this property/equity to obtain another deal on my own?

For some reason, I added that line, even thought it’s unnecessary.

What a deed-in-lieu may prevent is having the documents preparatory to a foreclosure being recorded and become a matter of public record.deed of trustSome states, like California, do not record mortgages.

Without selling, I want to tap into some of it for investing purposes, but I've got the good old favorite DTI hurdle that's preventing me from more easily accessing it from a conventional lender (I checked with a credit union already).

And by the way, contrary to some agents beliefs, in FL this does not prevent you from putting the property back on the market.This is going to happen occasionally, but the clauses you suggested will hurt You in selling the property.

.- Structure: Form LLC, if you have looses don't treat it as an s-corp yet, since it is an added unnecessary cost at the moment but do form it.- Have kids: Hire them, they pay no tax up to 12K each and you get to deduct 12K.

We're able to compensate for that by requiring a co-signer (no double deposits allowed in NH), but the inability to validate identity on the screening platform through questions based on credit bureau records prevented him from being able to complete the eviction and criminal history screening.

I really don't see the need, especially if they can just close down shop and open a new Co next year with a new license, or does the state prevent that? 

Corner cutting is fine, until it kicks back suits, liens etc. on you or property; then it seems not so good to skip a little preventative maint step.
