-how will my DTI and credit score effect the refinance?

@Ozzy Sirimsi  @Tim Youse @Joseph Abad Appreciate the tip about # of tenants in Towson, looking at the zoning laws : "After the effective date of Bill No. 124-93, a new boarding- or rooming house is not permitted next to an existing boarding- or rooming house unless permitted after a public hearing pursuant to Section 408.B."

Tenants always have the capacity to impress us with a good deed or good maintenance or maybe just not being complainers- You thank them by renewing their lease, not giving them a rent reduction.As the CPI demonstrates- every year that we do not increase our rents we are effectively giving our tenants a rent reduction, to the point that your unit is operating at a loss.

My issue is I have made the mistake of financing everything out of pocket in the form of savings and two separate personal loans that have had the detrimental effect of both raising my dti and lowering my credit score by approximately 30+ points (was 700+).

I am wondering if I should continue doing this method or should I try something that is more effective? 

Much more cost-effective and much better conversion rates. 

The key is to expose yourself to as many different possible profitable avenues in real estate investing & then continue to narrow them down to a select few which would be a good match for your strengths & personality. 

For another, they were selected to fit your space. 

As long as it can be done somewhat cost effectively.

It has an interesting effect on the brain over time.
