Lenders will also want to see a minimum Debt Service Ratio, typically 1.20 but this varies.I am planning 3-5 new rentals every year, my bank is offering to set me up a guidance line to make the process of adding new loans to my portfolio a bit smoother, this would be something I would suggest you ask about.By knowing all of the lenders requirements up front you will be able to analyze potential deals even better than you do right now, giving you a better understanding of a properties ability prior to purchase.I run all of my properties thru a bank underwriting spreadsheet as part of my initial research prior to making an offer, effectively I do the banks job in order to have less concern about getting stuck in a property with out end loan financing.

Service animals are not pets.
