Factors impacting ability to take out more loans for investments

I'm thinking of buying more rental properties and curious to factors that may limit ability to get more loans. I've been borrowing under my person and not my LLC .

-I have two loans ($500K total) on two properties, taken out as investment properties under my name (not LLC)

- Both properties more than cover loans and slight positive cash flow each month.

Q: Is there a debt to income or some ratio that lenders look at when determining whether if I hit some ratio that will cause them to stop lending to me? Or as long as I can show I have income to support service of those existing loans, then I should be able to get additional loans to buy more properties. 

Q: If I get a commercial loan, they are usually 5 year ARMs and I don't want to want to deal with refinancing. Does it make sense to do commercial loan or just to personal investment property loan? What are pluses and minuses to each?

I apologize in advance if its not phrased clearly and I hope you understand the jest of the question.

Thanks in advance.

John
