unless it's a full payoff and even then, the borrower is the one with the most weight getting them to stop it.

I could have done it faster had I been more focused...   

I sure wouldn't give it a lot of weight if I were a seller.

Should I offer to close faster?

Read and learn as much as you can from all the content here on BP and you will see those rules really don't hold much weight.

They are sometimes very much weighted in the PM's favor. 

We have a grading system we've developed in-house which allows some leeway for certain types of credit dings (they are weighted differently).  

These can offset your total deductions to have the rental property take care of the debt service and carry as much of it's own weight as possible, when it comes to your DTI.

oh i see. they are assuming the property either carries its own weight as a gud investment to the borrower or sinks as a bad one and they cash in on their secured interest in it, regardless of the LLC's other debts, income, etc

In our area, rents are rising much faster than inflation because investors are taking advantage of the supply-demand being in their favor and raising rents for that reason, not so much because of a rise in taxes, insurance and operating costs.
