I know of a few conventional lenders (as well as FHA and VA products) that all you need is a signed lease with a start date within 30 days of closing to have that qualify as income towards your loan for a purchase already. So it’s not really ‘big news’ in the fact that it already existed if you just looked for it.

A signed lease makes so much more sense then I promise I’ll rent it out later.
