Tom,
If you have an agreed upon purchase price. Just ask for the maximum LTV the lender will lend on this property.
For a commercial loan like this, lenders are going to have to look at the deal first before they issue any commitment letter. They may tell you they can lend a certain LTV but in most situations, the commitment letter will tell you what they will actually be “willing” to lend and that is based on the information you provide them on any particular property.
