I only say this because I had a friend use the BRRRR strategy but then couldn't get approved for a 2nd property due to his debt to income ratio. 

If there is a debt owed I will send a bill.  

That means that all fees related to the custodian are eliminated!

Like you mentioned, it's not just W-2 income, but what debt they have. 

@Ned Carey Thanks for the feedback, I’m leaning that way, I’m just not a big fan of debt.

You will try to use logic and say “but I’m paying down the debt too!”

This way you could keep all the debt financing in the business vs utilizing your primary & rental real estate.

This differs when you are bringing in leverage, as your mortgage reduces your NOI after debt.

It was treated as unsecured debt during the repayment plan.
