    I am also keen to know the answer on that

    If they are taking the property as security then the answer is simple – NONE.

    Rent however is only 1 small portion of serviceability and a lender that takes 75% may end up lending you more than someone who takes 90% because of the other factors that have a bearing on your borrowing amount.

    This is ridiculous, i know for a fact i can service this next property but so far i cannot get the amount i want from them. If i open an ABN i have to wait some time before they look at that as income right? Hmm if  i get someone with an ABN  to write that i have been getting paid X amount for the last year, would they take that in consideration?

    If you can produce payslips and a Group Certificate you can have that income considered but getting someone to write a letter stating you earn a particular amount when you dont is mortgage fraud.

    Hard of course to commend why you cant get the loan without any information.

    The reason lenders dont take 100% of the rent into consideration is that even if you self manage you wil never receive 100% of the Gross rental. Expenses such as Rates, insurance, vacancy get eaten into the Gross profit.

    Banks such as ANZ will give you addbacks, although assessing your rental at 75%, they understand negative gearing returns cash to your pocket.

    This frustrates me with the banks. I can understand their viewpoint though. If I was a lender I would never take 100% of the rental income into account. As Richard said, rates, water and a whole bunch of other things (vacancies, management fees, maintenance, insurance etc) all have to be paid for out of the rent. For a lender to take 100% would be silly.

    It would be nice if they did, but they don’t and I doubt they ever will.

    Further more as Number 8 mentioned certain lenders will add back the negative gearing others will take the actual loan repayment on external loans without applying the serviceability rate of interest to these liabilities.
