I own two properties and one is rented but the rent gives me just a little extra income as the mortgage which is not paid off at this point. I'd like to get another mortgage for another investment property. My income (rent + salary) is $63K per year and my credit is 698. Debt to income including current primary mortgage is 38% by b_claremoore49880... from Birmingham, Alabama. May 7th 2014
As long as you have the down payment and depending on your bottom line on your tax returns and the loan amount it sounds possible. You should call a local broker and go over your complete loan scenario.
If you claim rental income on your taxes for 2 years then you should be able to use rental income from the new property which may help you qualify. Talk to a local loan officer and see what you can get approved for.
You will be able to use 75% of the rental income, and 100% of the rental expense, in addition to your salary, in your available income calculation.
It looks good but give me a call or email so that I can look over all your documents and go from there.Fannie Mae requires certain calculation for rental properties so it's not as easy as just using 75% unless you just bought the home this year. Then you wouldn't be able to use tax returns for that certain property.
