Hello,

Currently I have 2 vacation homes that are doing really good. So good in fact, that I am considering listing the house that we live in as a vacation rental as well, and just rent out a house for my family. I believe I could get $175 per night for my house which would equal $4,375 per month, if I have 25 days booked per month. In my area I could rent a nice home out (nicer than my house)for 2,000 per month. From my calculations, if I do decide to list my house on airbnb and move into a rental house, I could profit around 1k per month. $4,375(profit)-2,000(rent) -1300(current mortgage and utilities) =1,075. 

My question is has anyone currently done this? Would I be able to use the profit from the 3 airbnb rentals as income to qualify for another mortgage? If did rent out a house to live in, would that count against me when financing another mortgage loan?

Hello,

I currently rent out a single family home (15 months so far) for $1250 per month and I live with my fiance rent free. I am looking to purchase another single family house to use as my primary residence. Currently my mortgage payment on the house I rent is $700 (PITI) which means I make a profit of $550 per month. How do I qualify for a new mortgage? I make 2,500 per month gross from my job. I am trying to figure out how to calculate the DTI using my rental property. My only debt is $220 student loan payment and the $700 mortgage payment.
If I use 75 percent of the rental income that is $937 (1250x75%) minus the 700 mortgage payment, is a profit of $237. Is that added to my 2500 work income?
The total PITI mortgage of the house I want to buy is $850 per month. I am trying to understand if I Would I qualify for this home?

From my calculations I would add the $237 net profit from the rental income to my 2500 work income for a total monthly income of $2737. Then I would add the mortgage of the house I want to purchase (850) plus my student loan debt of $220 together for a total of $1070. I would then divide the $1070 by my monthly income of $2737 which equals 39% DTI which means I should qualify since it is less that 43%. Is this math done correctly?

Thank you for your time,
