Does Closing in an LLC Affect Personal Credit or DTI?
I am refinancing a BRRRR that is nearly complete. I purchased in an existing LLC I had and would like to close in the same one. I always thought that closing in an LLC meant that it wouldn't go against your personal DTI or credit. I am getting mixed answers from various lenders/ seasoned investors. Perhaps it's the underlying loan product that makes the difference. Does anyone have any more clarity on this?
For clarification, I want to close in an LLC but DO Not want it to affect my personal DTI or credit. Thank you.

I can only speak to the lenders we use.
- They do require a personal guarantee.
- They pull credit on you in the beginning and right before close to make sure you didn't file BK or get foreclosed on
- The loan does not show up on your personal credit report because the loan is to the LLC, not you.
- The loan does not affect your DTI because it is made to the LLC, not you.
