BTL Mortgages - Salary Restrictions

Good afternoon, wonder if anyone can help... I am stuck with my current mortgage lender when I could be getting a much better rate of interest and saving money. The only thing preventing me from switching to a better deal is my low salary, which doesn't seem that significant as the rent covers the mortgage (pays for itself). From September ill be supply teaching, and my salary will not rise significantly enough to be eligible for many deals out there. Are there any lenders that don't have that minimum salary restriction to place an application? Thanks

    When you've no rent coming in then the matter becomes highly significant. A low income may mean that the cot of funding BTL property along with your other outgoings becomes unaffordable. That's the direction from which lenders will assessing the situation.
