As long as you are not a borrower, there is no note or loan that will negatively affect your dti from a debt perspective.

Owning the property in an LLC and living in it as your primary residence would negate the value of the LLC.

Well, those properties will statistically attract corresponding Class B & C tenants.So, how should an investor account for Tenant Payment Performance/ DEFAULT in their analysis? 

I am discouraged but by no means stopped by my negative experience with Jerryll Noordan.

Perhaps it has something to do with the statistical average where in Australia, if you are borrowing 75% on property in the cities or suburbs, it is almost impossible to get positive cash flow ANYWHERE, whereas BP subscribers are aware that in MANY parts of the USA, the opposite is true.

Lo and behold, many of said states will require the foreign entity to disclose owners/members and such, negating your desire for secrecy. 

Which of course is actually a negative for participating in speculative madness. 

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

If the tenant is truly struggling due to a life event, the sooner we can work together to get her somewhere she can afford (and not have an eviction or negative credit report on record), the better for all.

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)
