will my rental income count if under a 6 months?

[Joe Boggin]

im trying to figure out the best way to tap into my property equity. i will own free and clear with comps in the 50-60k range. my salary is average and my primary note eats up alot of my ratio. if i had a signed lease/rental agreement with 6 verified deposits, would i be able to use that rental income or a portion of it in some capacity as qualifying income to offset DTI?!
