Lenders can use up to 75% of the rents generated, however, if there is a history of rental losses, those losses may limit borrowing power. What to pay attention to if you have a mortgaged rental property… Know Your Schedule E The schedule E of your Form 1040 is the area of your personal income tax return where you report rental property.
