How much money can I raise?

I own 2 properties which are rent out as 4 bed HMO. Suppose the cost of each is 250k (500k in total), and I rent the property I live in at the moment, how much money could I raise to finance a 3rd property, roughly on the lines of 250k by taking a mortgage on the properties I own?

I'm read on another thread that not many lenders will issue mortgages on properties I do not own.

    I suggested OP posts here.

    The last sentence was my suggestion that not many lenders will be interested in giving BTL mortgages when the landlord is renting the property he lives in. Would the fact that the landlord is already letting the 2 properties he owns outright help him get a mortgage on them? So the scenario is that he wants to raise mortgages on the 2 existing letting properties to finance the purchase of a 3rd BTL.

    You have property worth £500k so theoretically you might be able to borrow 75% * £500k = £375k (assuming the income covers 125% of the mortgage interest)

    ^ Taken from post #8 on your other thread.

    Go and see a broker for real options.

    Do you have HMO Licences for the properties?
