That means, if your current debt ratio is 50% or lower without buying the home, then it should still be about 50% or lower after buying the home as a rental.Fannie Mae will allow you do a 1 unit at 15% down payment, although you might consider a 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance and help lower your debt ratio.

I'm setting up two LLCs with one for the flips and one for the rental properties.The flips will be an S-Corp exactly as you said to try and make room for some of that income to be taxed at a lower level.Having the separate LLCs is necessary not only for legal protection, but to keep the accounting separate.
