Properties listed for sale in the six months preceding the application date for new financingare limited to 70% LTV.Note: Properties that were listed for sale must have been taken off the market on or before the application date.Also, if you need the rental income to offset your debt to income ratios on the new purchase loan, assuming the rental income doesn't show on your tax returns, you'll typically be allowed to use 75% of gross rents which will be determined by a rental survey.
