Refinance Options for STR when loan-to-value ratio (LTV) isn't enough

Hello, community! I'm looking for advice on refinancing a STR property in Pennsylvania. About a year ago, I took out a mortgage and recently added significant value to the house. However, I'm hitting a roadblock with traditional lenders, as my loan-to-value ratio (LTV) isn't matching their criteria. This seems to be a result of some smart accounting moves on my part, thanks to an investor-savvy accountant. As luxury vacation short-term rental hosts, has anyone faced a similar situation or have suggestions on how to proceed? Our goal is to pull out some of the rehab money we put into the property. Thanks in advance!

     Loan to value is not effected by accounting at all. Maybe you mean debt to income?
