Your situation is very similar to one of my clients. The lender didn't take into account their potential rental income. Usually take at least 2 years of rental history before a lender consider protion of it. However, they did get a loan though without the help of the rental. You should be able to get a loan as well base on your description. The amount of loan will depends on the new house you want to buy, property tax and other expenses. You may want to get your financial statement ready and talk to some of the mortgage agents. This may get your answer quicker.

It is much more difficult to get a mortgage now than 5-6 years ago so you need to speak with a few of them and see what they say. There is no cost to you fo just talking. My web site has a few references.

There are some wonderful lenders here on Zillow, pull down the professionals tab up top to search for one or ask your Realtor, they should have several 'tried and true' lenders who have done great work for their clients. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your impending arrival......boy or girl?
