Ike Mutabanna RE Attorney in TX - advice on Series LLC
20 November 2017 | 6 replies

22 November 2017 | 6 replies
.- Any expense on line 18 "depreciation" can be "added back" to income no questions asked (your new roof being depreciated over X years being a good example), meaning that it will have zero impact on your DTI.- Any expense on line 14 "repairs" can only be added back with a bunch of supporting documentation matching exactly & based on a human underwriter's judgement call on the "one time" nature of it (and how that underwriter's mood is on that given day) on a one-off basis.
