    So long as you have a minimum 20% deposit and the rent covers 125% of the mortgage payments at a 6% interest rate you could potentially get in the region of £200k.

    Thats very crude maths but should give you some indication of what you can get more or less. Might be worth having a chat with a broker.

    Do you have an earned income of 25k or over? Many lenders now require this.

    I would say if 40k is a 25% deposit you could potentially borrow 120k. This would mean a 75% product which will bring in more lenders and better rates.

    Definitely speak to a broker. Many BTL products are broker only.

    You borrow the money. You don't lend it.
