    Hi,

    Is a boarding house treated as a business in terms of borrowing? So that the income of a boarding house would be treated as business income instead of rent when applying for a loan?

    Than you!

    It's treated as a commercial rental income so it's shaded 30 - 40%+ by most resi lenders who allow the rent to be used towards servicing
