It's certainly not an easy or quick process but it can be an excellent way to literally build equity into your property and get a home designed just how you like it.

If the terms of the mortgages were refinanced into 30 year AM (amortization) the P&I (principle and interest) payments would appear much lower and hence the resulting cash flow would be much higher when they (lenders) go to calculate your cashflow for DTI or debt service coverage purposes.This also could be an issue with how you file your tax returns for all of these 15 doors or a combination of the above.Either way its really easy to fix.
