I live in one and rent the other for $400 cash flow. 

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Duplex next to another duplex I own.

What's your end goal —cash flow or long-term generation? 

Purchase price: $620,000 Cash invested: $60,000 This investment is a duplex with a 3/2 on the bottom and 1/1 on top.

No the fact that the title to the property will be in an entity instead of a personal name does not erase the debt from your credit, and a lender will still factor in the mortgage payment towards your DTI.

Purchase price: $58,000,000 Cash invested: $74,000 I am a LP in a group fund that bought three large, institutional properties.

By the time we are our parents' age, our properties could be paid off/cash flow well, and we are sitting in an amazing position. 

It's cash flowing really well and I'm hoping to continue doing MTR.

I was preapproved for the dscr loan and have the 25% down payment and was planning on buying a 6 unit apartment that a realtor had shown me but another buyer bought it first before I completed my process so now I am looking for another multi unit property. 

With that said- there are other programs that can accomplish similar benefits in terms of minimal down payment options, etc.
