I called several lenders and one was 75% LTV, one was extremely slow so I pulled the application, and another was 80% (who I went with).The refinanced property had everything practically new (wiring, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, etc.) with few items less than 5 years old (roof, siding, furnaces/AC), but the windows were 10 years old. 

I recently attended my first local RE meet up this last week and it was extremely helpful.
