There are DSCR programs that will allow the use of a higher existing lease so long as you can show receipt of the rents for the last 3 months as well as a copy of the original deposit.

One person uses it for long term rentals, no pet's, requires super high credit, 3 months deposit etc etc..

Get that interest income plus have them tie your deposit up and have them knock a percentage point off your loan.
