Mortgage Questions

    Hey,
    I'm entertaining the idea of buying a house to rent in my home town, which I may move into in the future. I know it's not the ideal economic climate to be purchasing but the price is good -$285k- and it's in a great location. This will be my first house and I have a few questions about mortgages before I start talking to brokers.

    1. Will mortgage companies take into account the income I recieve from renting?
    2. Generally, what percentage of the mortgage does your nett yearly income have to be?
    3. I presume if I am buying to rent (albiet for the first couple of years) I get no relief on stamp duty?

    Thanks in advance
