If you're not buying up to the maximum you can qualify for you should be fine.If you'd like to be in a ready position you could always get your credit, income, and assets reviewed and planned for in advance, because a loan is basically compromised of those three areas.LIke Chris mentions above though, if you buy a property that positively cash flows using the formula of 75% of gross income minus your mortgage payment per month (PITIA - principal/interest/tax/insurance/assessments)  = a positive number then "yes," your DTI will go down each time you buy another property.

They celebrate paying off their outsized mortgage because for them it's a great life-changing accomplishment.They mourn when they have to leave the house that they spent so much of their lives in, like their cheap ticky-tacky tract-built place is an ancestral estate handed down from time immemorial and their lives are bound up with the soil it rests on.They fill their houses with just ungodly amounts of their crap, trying to own it more fully.They hire people to do the simplest jobs in their house because they're worried to death about structurally compromising the joint: "Oh no, if I replace this faucet and the faucet leaks there will be massive damage and a contractor will have to give me a quote and I'll have to file a claim with my insurance, and, and, and..."

A lot of the homes that are completely gone are still barren with some where the land is put up for sale.For homes that were damaged, they ended up demolishing it rather than repairing due to structural integrity being compromised. 

The OTA's want you to believe this is easy, far from it if you want to be really good at it, but being good doesn't mean you have to compromise.  

Most of the time are small compromises, but still annoyances.”

If something were to come along that meets my criteria I'll go after it; but I'm not going to compromise-it has to work or what is the point?

We decided that the 3rd floor needs to start paying closer to market rent so we offer them a compromise.

In northern California it showed names, southern California they don't (I think it's because there are so many celebrities and extremely wealthy individuals it might compromise them) You can also get owners records from most title companies (ask for the title plant).

The problem is that the structural integrity of the sheetrock has been compromised.

So, when I work with these types of people, then we compromise: I write most of what I want to communicate, and call to confirm.
