@Christina Merlo Here is a quick guide on how the DTI works to help/hinder your investing. 

But one of the most important things to keep in mind is that getting to be financially free and retire might hinder your growth, as once you step away from a W2 job, you will have a lot of trouble finding financing for future deals, as any passive income from rentals or other streams of income lenders will want to see 2 tax returns worth of it, to prove that it is stable.Just some things to keep in mind, and as you can tell I am a big supporter of house hacking (as most people should be).

There are plenty of CC&Rs that can hinder your progress. 

As I asked above, I'm curious if securing private lending (where the lender holds first lien) in the acquisitions and rehab phase would hinder our ability to quitclaim into a separate LLC through which we would secure commercial financing.

Building your skillset as an agent takes many deals and limiting that at the jump is going to hinder your career.

I actually went back to my regular job but the corona has hindered me more than anything as im paranoid about going to the office or going out to meet people. so now i have access to the mls but for now trying to concentrate on training and social media and also keeping an eye on investment opportunities.

So just a quick question, I am thinking of a forbearance on my mortgage but I have some money saved to buy a rental income in the near future and I don't want that to hinder my chances of a loan on the income property.

I have an inquiry into my mortgage officer as to whether or not taking the EIDL will hinder me from qualifying for any additional investment property loans in the future (other than the obvious change to my DTI ratio).  

My credit score also being a hinderance for the conventional as far as interest rates and cost per month.

100% rookie looking to invest in my first property heres my question me and my wife will be partners so is it easier for both of us to be on a loan or will it hinder us later for other loans our end goal is 20 doors.
