If the properties are cashflow positive, or approximately neutral, and you haven't taken a paycut at work or trashed your credit, you're DTI is probably fine if it is being calculated correctly, which big banks and most credit unions do not do.

So in this case, I would stay neutral, and leave the facts to speak for themselves.

I was initially thinking a low maintenance, cash flow neutral, A+ property, just generating high quality equity would be ideal.  

Aren’t they exposing their assets to potential litigants, thereby neutralizing the anonymity of the asset protection plan?

Does it have neutral colors throughout, good curb appeal, clean & orderly?

As you learn more about what is being done, it might be diligent to discreetly get a quote or 2 from neutral parties that could do similar or identical tasks.

I just hope the at the new buyers have a good minds eye and choose some more.. um..neutral colors. 

If your actual rent is lower, you really could be close to cash flow neutral. 

How many times will agents actually present an offer from a potential buyer who makes a low offer in a neutral fashion...I venture to guess that those times are few and far between.  

If it's my money and I am not going to tie it up until the end of time and then go through the torture of getting it back.When I worked for a developer assembling land for commercial projects the buyers attorney or buyer would ALWAYS hold the earnest money or a neutral third party would.
