Need financing advice: Getting pre-approval for FHA loan on multi-family property

[Myles Hebets]

Hi Ya'll:

So here's the idea. Finally have that egg and I can put 10% down on an FHA loan, but I am trying to sort out what I can list as income when I am looking for pre-approval.

Typically you are able to include the rental income from the other units when listing your income, but if I'm not certain what that rental income will be am I able to use an estimate for this? What do I need to back that estimate up, and am I likely to take a hit and not get the approval if I don't do this correctly?

Any help and insight would really be appreciated.
