How to use future rental income to qualify for a mortgage

How to use future rental income to qualify for a mortgage

Real Estate Agent · New Richmond, OH · Member since 2017 · 25 posts · 13 votes

I am trying to buy my next house but I want to keep my old single family as a rental, I dont have 2 years of rental history and I have never worked as a property manager so I am wondering if anyone has any tips that I could use to try to use my projected rental income from the house I keep towards qualifying for another mortgage, or another strategy. Any comments are welcome.

    @Kameron Wilson One year tax return can work to count the rental income from current rental property.

    Hey Kameron, as long as you have an executed lease, you should be able to use 75% of the rental income from the property to offset the mortgage payment.

     I asked about that but i was told that without proof of being a landlord previously they couldnt use the projected rental income.
