My question is how are people getting around DTI requirements when you start to own multiple properties?

One could credit the remaining folks for the deposit on file and return just the leaving tenant pro rata, but then you need a small check from the remaining tenants anyway to get the full deposit, and you never know how they have allocated or paid the deposit (or even if they are on good terms), and you rely on the kindness of strangers to return it to the leaving guy (so he does not ask you for it later).Either way, make sure it is crystal clear and communicated (I communicate it multiple times) to ensure a smooth transition and prevent problems; that may be key, get the fuzziness out and make sure no feathers are ruffled.

You might try to just have your own management company where you are actively involved but get people with the title as assistant manager or something where they are absorbing all the calls and taking care of the routine duties and you are only brought it on important issues.  

My end goal is owning multiple complexes as an investor or partnership but I plan on starting small alone.
