I'm brand new planning on starting wholesaling in the Tampa Bay area.

I know debt to income is going to play a large factor in getting approved so was wondering if the lender will count the future rental income into that calculation to make the DTI better, since there is a lease in place.

That keeps me from getting surprised during market downturns and also ensures that I have equity to play with should a need arise.Congratulations on your first deal!

I'm just afraid I'm going to play my money just for them to tell me it isn't a good deal.

Hi, my name is Joseph, and I'm brand new to real estate investing.

Then you can play around with what the system sends you. 

This is such a great topic for me, I am brand new to the investing world and I wish more people would chime in and provide their experience/expertise.
