When can I use rental income for a new loan?

[Ryan VanPatten]

Hi,

I have a townhome that I live in and rent additional rooms.  Can I use this income as part of my income when I apply for another loan?  I bought it in Augusut 2012, so the two year mark is right around the corner.

I figure I'd throw the question out on BP before going back to my orginial loan officer.

Thanks
