So in Florida @Tyrone Evans you hold a Real Estate License... a Sales Associate License. also your not called a real estate "agent" (unless you have entered into that disclosed legal relationship).

To my disappointment I was denied a loan of $170,000 from quicken due to high debt to income ratio ( I was over excited and failed to do my due diligence) I didn't think to add in the new payment into my calculations.....oops, But with that nice lesson learned I now know what needs to be done in order to get either 50-80k on a heloc. so my question is when the lender calculates the dti on the heloc do they use the interest only payment or principle & interest.

With legal zoom you get what you pay for.

I wish to purchase a 3rd unit (or more).The banks I have talked to so far say my debt/income ratio is not in their range for a personal loan.

I realize it's not how your supposed to do it (idk legality) but has anyone bought a second home to get the 5% down payment instead of the 20% down payment it costs for an investment property?

Hello all,I'm in the beginning stages of my real estate investing journey, and I want to hold my rental properties in an legal entity.

Just do your homework because the buyers' mortgage lender might not approve the loan if they feel their borrowers are going to be carrying too much debt.

Many sellers have backed out at closing (legally bound or not) once they see the money they could have made on their own.
