Unsure if I qualify for carers allowance

Hi. I'm new to the forum. Advice please? My husband is registered disabled and receives enhanced mobility PIP. My husband is in employment. I have recently qualified for my State Pension. My husband is not yet of an age to receive his State pension. We have a rental property managed by a letting company. Is the income from a rental property classed as earned income? I meet the criteria in terms of hours I care for my husband. While I am self employed, I do not regularly earn more than £110 a week. Would I qualify for carer's allowance. Thank you for your advice.

You are probably best to get trained advice from AGE UK, CAB or similar
Depending on the rental property income and how it is paid, it will probably be classed as income but is the income yours or your husbands or joint
