I'm looking at fixer uppers that are considered livable (heat, plumbing, etc) and I think my DTI will be sufficient once I get renters on my current quadplex.Just trying to plan ahead, thanks!

If you're going to start with one at a time, know and study your competition.Good luck....you are right in the heat of things.
