Can rental income from an ADU help me qualify for a Marietta home?

Rental income from an accessory dwelling unit can sometimes count toward loan qualification on a Marietta purchase, but the rules for how much of that projected rent a lender can use depend on the specific loan program and typically require an appraiser's rent estimate rather than a number the buyer supplies. Not every loan program treats ADU income the same way, and some require the unit to already be legally permitted. A mortgage lender can confirm what applies to your specific loan and Marietta property.
