Thank you so much for your help and advice, I took the plunge and got it done in a simple manner thanks to your suggestions. 

The only challenge was getting a contractor bid at a reasonable number in a timely manner for my investor.

And I don't even mean you lose 10's of thousands but if you have no money and your 19, even if the property gets a couple vacancies and you're in the red $500 a month... that is probably not sustainable very long for you. 

Do you think this kind of rise is sustainable? 

In the end, spending $500 to do something right is often better. https://www.nolo.com/legal-enc...https://law.justia.com/codes/m...Try to talk it through with him in a friendly manner.

If you do it the “easy” way and only buy 1 building each year with the max number of units you’ll only have one down payment to come up with and by year 4 you’re into commercial loans where they are based not on your income but on the ability of the building to sustain the project.

@Anna SamTo piggy back a few other comments:If one buys real estate with proper leverage, ample cash reserves, and manages the property in a professional manner, LONG TERM the investor is almost certain to win barring a complete economic collapse. 

You will find that over time you will have much better tenants that operate very well in a black and white manner.  

Anyway, that's the route I wish I'd pursued and the strategy I will be sharing with my own children as I believe in sustainable growth.I will say that you're correct about the dti ratio though.
