I'm going to give a verbal warning followed up with a text message describing what was talked about so we have records if something bad happens.

@Becky Hoffman If one member of the LLC does not care to have any claim to the property as you describe why can't the partner merely be removed from the LLC.

well I have seen predatory.. this is described by folks selling homes that are worth 30k to someone else for 90k  and having done NO WORK  thats predatory on its face.

Hi - you sound like a perfect candidate for the "DSCR Loan" option - its the loan type thats popular wwith investors and one of the big reasons why is the exact situation you are describing - running into DTI troubles.
