The investments should be chosen based on increased wealth, so that an investment in land, providing no income, but likely to triple in value in 24 months, would be chosen over a office building throwing off 12% income, but unlikely to increase in value.  

From a servicing and reporting perspective - if the lender does not report to credit and they REQUIRE an LLC to fund, then the parent servicing entity most likely will keep your business/investment loans separate from personal credit.

Based on your question it is way better to just hire PMC.

@Rick Albert That is a great idea, the problem I am having in CA is that the lenders I’ve spoken with have told me I don’t qualify for a necessary loan amount based on my income, even if I were to do a house hack.

I was recently informed that there are portfolio lenders that don't do a credit check, don't require an appraisal (possibly BPO), or tax returns, etc and are truly asset based.

In addition, the deals will be based on long-term rental outlook, but we are going to see how a mid-term rental strategy pans out for the higher cash flow in the short term.

I’m a Houston based builder.

If they report to the credit bureaus it will affect your DTI as your DTI is calculated based on what's on your credit report compared to your income.

I use the term notice of interest, but it's essentially a lien against the property that is based on how much we essentially lent the homeowner to renovate the home.

If you are not getting any traffic, it is usually a pricing issue based on what I have read on this forum.
