Interest-only loans are capped at 75% LTV on a 30-year term and 70% on a 40-year term. First-time investors are reduced 5 points. Foreign nationals: 65% purchase, 60% cash-out.

The coverage test

Gross rent divided by the full monthly payment.

The payment includes principal and interest, property taxes, insurance and any association dues. On an interest-only loan, the interest-only payment is used. Operating expenses are not deducted.
