The short answer is yes, but I would want a little more of the story.

His question was, if you have a long-term residential lease signed 1+ years and the property is rented out, does the mortgage still count against your DTI?

I'm trying to buy, fix, and rent real estate and created an LLC with my partner who is putting up most of the capital but he will not handle operations at all.

My strategy is that, best case scenario, I will take over his hard money loan or come in with a private money loan to pay off his hard money loan and to rate and term the hard money -- private loan. 

The home was a big interior and exterior clean up with minor construction.

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Awesome board with many smart people having own suggestions and ideas to grow wealth!!

We introduced a new color scheme for our new construction homes.Once the exterior paint was finished, we realized that we strongly disliked the color we chose for the garage door.Easy fix, spend the money to repaint the garage door and update the color package for future homes.Hiccups like this happen every day in this industry.

I’ve signed up with about 5-6 companies so far.

Greetings BiggerPockets Community,I’m reaching out for advice from anyone with experience in the Jacksonville, FL market, specifically in the Southside/Baymeadows area.
