From my short time at biggerpockets I can say that there are some experienced and savvy business people and investors around who require you to illustrate your plan from a - b and have a backup plan from b - c before they would consider someone as a partner.

It would have been considerate of them to maybe illustrate an example using that low of a loan.

I think you already understand where Im going with this, but  to illustrate to make sure I understand before reaching out and calling....In Fernley, NV (outside Reno) in the heyday of 2004, I was buying several single family homes before they were built.  

Gurus usually illustrate only the income appraoch, usually incorrectly, because of two reasons in my opinion, one, it justifies their strategy and two, they can't really value a property, Valuation is beyond the scope of there "Secret Strategy".

I point all of this out because it illustrates how these various "top ten lists" don't tell the whole story.

An illustration of the effect of the long term lease that I took a look at in one of my real estate classes is the Empire State building.

The extra detail may not be necessary but it could help illustrate that you've thought it through and you're serious about your plans.

However we are only able to offset our DTI with our percentage ownership of the profits which in this case is 33% each.To better illustrate my question below is how I roughly understand how the DTI calculation for our partnership would work.Partner 1 Net Income share: $50,000Partner 2 Net Income share: $50,000Partner 3 Net Income share: $50,000PITI: $100,000For this example each partner would have there DTI negatively affected by $50,000.

And to illustrate how holding a good property can be hugely beneficial: I sold a few good properties 7-8 years ago, to get through turbulent times, even though I didn’t want to.

Didn't you figure out I was just illustrating the fact that the Mexican economy is not insignificant.I hope that this "conversation" is useful to you and others.
