Projected rental income for fha loan as a first time home buyer

[Haider Nazir]

Hi everyone! Im looking to finance a multifamily property with fha loan. I just wanted to know if projected rental income from subject property can be used as qualifying income or not for the first time home buyer. I talked to quicken loans about it they said it can be used only if you are not a first time home buyer according to fha guidelines. Im not sure if projected income will be used as a first time home buyer or not. Please let me know if quicken loans is right ?  Thanks in advance

That would be an overlay for that lender. FHA allows you to use potential rental income on the other units;

INCOME—RENTAL

• Any net rental income from the subject property must be added to the borrower’s qualifying gross monthly income by applying 75% of the lesser of;
• Fair Market Rent reported by the appraiser; or The rent reflected on the existing or proposed lease agreement.
