Need help with BTL mortgages

Hi I am looking for BTL mortgages but I am having big problems.

1. I am a first time buyer.
2. I earn under £40,000
3. My property value is under £125,000

Because of this I am being excluded lending.

I have a 30% deposit which is not a small amount!! And I earn £32K.
What can I do?

None of the deals on the market make any sense.

My only other option would be to break the law and get a residential.

It's like the Chicken and Egg.

    Your earnings are usually irrelevant for BTL mortgages. You need to show your rental income will be at least 125% of the mortgage repayments.

    There's a calculator here.
