Lender Qualifying — 75% Rent Rule
ItemAmount

Qualifying factor (standard 75% rule)× 0.75
Rental income credited to your qualifying income+$1,650/mo
Annualized qualifying rental income$19,800/yr
Most lenders allow 75% of projected rental income to count toward your gross qualifying income when purchasing a multifamily property as an owner-occupant. This offsets your debt-to-income ratio and can help you qualify for a larger loan. Ask your lender — some FHA and Fannie Mae programs use slightly different factors.
