NathanHey Nathan,A lot of the private/Hard money lenders that I work with do not require that, so depending on your strategy it shouldn't be an issue.That sounds like great idea though, it could set you up nicely to hopefully save up for a good primary residence.Would love to connect and talk through the strategies financially if you are interested!

1) make the payment directly from my HELOC account2) transfer the money from HELOC to business checking account, and then make the payment from my business checking account. not an accountant, but from a tax perspective I see no benefit of one from the other, interest would not be deductible.if you are using a LLC, then money should go to the LLC but if you are buying it in your personal name and transferring then reality is there is no separation of LLC and person so you have fake asset protection.

There are other factors to consider, such as the quality of landlord-tenant laws, the court's ability to protect landlords, the ability to find a quality property manager, etc.

This gives you some cash back but still plenty of protection in a down market.  

Brace yourselves for the next level of financial wizardry: condo conversion.

The financial demographic in that area makes even a very cheap renter's policy the difference between paying that premium and paying another bill.

I want to use my business as the borrower to protect my debt to income ratio so DSCR seems to be the best route. 

He is currently renting to a family, but the wife now has a protection order against the husband.

And please don’t let someone convince you 10-50-100 LLC’s would protect you.
