Buying income property? Loan question  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Dh and I are buying our home and had no problem getting a loan for it even with CC debt. Our income wasn't high but we lied about it and paid 1/2 a point higher on our loan.
We are having tons of problems living here with our neighbor and land lawsuits and such and are thinking of moving. Homes here are super expensive but I was at my friends house the other day and she said her landlord is selling for the same price we paid for our house. The house has a great rental history and I am wondering if you are buying a house to be used for income if there is different qualifications, like they don't care if your income has gone up much since a great portion of the rent if paid for.
As in we said we made 50,000.00 a year to get this loan, would we have to say we made more than that to qualify?
BYW, we paid off more than 1/2 of our CC debt recently if that matters.

Around here we had to have the full 20% downpayment.Other than that the process seemed to be the same. Check different banks.One wanted us to have a yearlease agreement before they would give us the loan.Uh no! We have perfect credit and no debt.WE just switched banks.We ended up moving to the new house so we could up date the 50's charmer and renting out our house.
