Hello BP,I am sure this has been answered before, but I did do a quick search on BP and Google and it gave me answers, just not what I was looking for.My question is if you acquire a new rental property, can you use the new rental income for consideration in the debt to income ratio for a different SFH rental property for a cash out refi?

If you are simply contracting a GC, then your value add is considerably less.Once the property goes into service, if you are going to be the PM - find, screen, place, & manage tenants -  then 10% of effective gross revenue would be fair on a single small property.  

I'll definitely take that into consideration - Great advice!

. - As stated above, the type of deal will vary your rates and terms considerably. 

He is trying to charge extra for work they underbid to put in French doors, a water heater "broke" as they were raising the height of it up to code...I would accept the cost of a new one but not sure how it is my responsibility for labor to put it in since they had to do so anyways and no one wants to claim responsibility for it "breaking"?

I'm a local realtor here in San Antonio, Texas that currently works with investors in terms of finding them investment properties, guiding them through the rehab if need be, helping them with their exit strategy and repeating this process all over again.In summary, I specialize in:*Selling investment properties to my qualified investors*Help them with funding if their liquid assets are not at a considerable number, or (my favorite) leveraging their money to get the most ROI and saving them in costs through scaling up your business *Guiding them through the remodeling process through referring contractors out, getting bids, sharing personal expertize, etc. 

So bottom line, each market has to be evaluated separately while taking into consideration the overall state of the market and the economy.

For those seasoned veterans out there, what are the considerations that jump out at you?

They will require this yes, but I have heard a large number of investors noting having difficulty finding banks that will loan to their LLC even with that consideration.

Lastly please,I was told by a previous Lender, that they do NOT use the Rental income I received / claimed on my Taxes into consideration when they look at my Taxes , in Looking at what I earned in any Given Year.Does that seem right ?
