Qualifying for SFR loans

Account Closed

Hello, everybody. I purchased a single family home for $46k here in the Green Bay, WI area a little over a year ago expecting to live there myself. But, I changed my mind and decided to rent it out for $650/mo, which has been going well for the last 8 months.

Now, I am hoping that I will somehow be able to qualify for at least 2 more properties like this.

Using a calculator like this one...

...it's not looking very promising.

My independent contractor income, without the rental income I'm receiving(less than 2 years, so I'm guessing this won't count for anything), has only been showing about $16,500/yr net. This is the income that I used to qualify for the first loan. If the lender will consider 75% of the potential rental income on the new property, I figure that will raise my total income to about $22k/yr.

For debt, total payment for the current loan is $335/mo. The lot rent at my mobile home is $250/mo, which I pay half of, so another $125/mo for a total debt of $460/mo. No credit card balances or other loans.

And, I can easily put 20% down on a $50k house, so $10k down payment.

With these numbers plugged in it looks like I might barely qualify for one more property at a fairly aggressive DTI. Am I figuring all of this correctly? Anything else I'm not considering?
