This is screwing my DTI when trying to purchase a new home as my homestead because all the debt is in my personal report but only 20% revenue.Is there something I can do to change this? 

The attorney fees alone for these type of deals are starting at $10,000 per person and every international investor has to invest a minimum of $500,000.

A good rule of thumb is to plan on spending approx $10k on all the standard items for your unit like your washer & dryer, linens, small appliances, dishware & cookware etc., plus $2-3k per bedroom.
