Lenders generally prefer a debt to income ratio ("DTI") no higher than 36%. This percentage is the same regardless of whether the property is used as a first or second residence. If your DTI is higher than 36%, other factors, such as the amount of down payment, may positively influence the lender to exceed its standard DTI.

There is no specific debt to income ratio for a second home. It would be considered part of your debt outside of your main residental housing. The total debt to income ratio is usually 36% of gross income, with housing a maximum of 28%. That would leave 8% for all other debt such as credit cards, automobiles and second homes.
