I’m looking to buy an investment property in the next 9-12 months. When applying for a mortgage, do they only look at my ability to repay based on my salary alone? Or is historical (or projected) income from the property considered as well?

This will be my first property.

Kinda depends on the lender.

Some will only consider rental estimates in a vacuum against the monthly expenses, but with a conservative amount (you share comps, and they’ll consider 60-80% of that, for example)

I’ve had other banks look at overall income holistically as well

Both your income and the projected rent from the rental are considered.

I purchased an investment property as my first house and lived in part of it. Qualification was based on salary alone. They did use rent comps on the appraisal tho

I’m in the CRE business, so my opinion might be a bit skewed…we have a lot of multifamily stuff, as well as straight up commercial, but when I bought a duplex in Brooklyn all they cared about was my salary and net worth. Because it was under 4 units, the lender treated it as strictly residential, and didn’t look at the income from renting out the bottom unit even with my CRE experience.

One a one unit single family rental they will only look at your salary and ability to pay the mortgage. Remember that the down payment required would be higher as well (30%) and interest rates are higher on investment properties.

Typically they will look at your income and a percentage of rental income depending on what they feel is a safe percentage

You need an asset based lender if you want to use potential income. Going conforming loan route will not consider potential income from the property, just your current income
