Hi there. If you can demonstrate that you have at least 30% equity in the rental property, have a current valid lease, and can show proof you have received a security deposit from your renter, then yes, you can use that income. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions. Good luck!Scott

As I understand it, you would need to find a portfolio lender to help you with that scenario. Fannie and Freddie would require a two year history (like any other source of income) of rental income in order to use that income in your qualifying ratios.

Just like Mymortg said you need 30% equity in the house, with a lease. Most likely if you are refinancing you owner occupied home you will not need reserves. We can go to high ratios on a Conv. refi. Please call or email if you like. 224-420-9990, bbutler@barclaybutlerfinancial.com
