First purchase where to go

Hi, I've been asking a lot of questions  lately and everyone has been gracious and I've taken it to brain. thank you all. 

Now here is my  dilemma , the real deal is coming and my question is what is the best path to get the loan? Bank institution or lender. Here are the options

Bank offers 70% loan on a 4.4% rate for  30 years -- meaning 30% down. Is 30% down/ out of pocket hefty for an investment property? I heard people say that the less money you put out or put on down the better. Since it's a rental property they are requiring 30% down

Lenders rates are 5% for 30 years for 20% down but of a coarse with a 1400 fee. Unsure if it gets credited at all. ( I didn't know I had to ask this)  

Lender also gave another option for 25% down on a 4.625% rate. 

I've been running numbers and how much I can offfer but is it crazy to put 30% down? Is it better to take higher rates but less money down? Please shed light to me. Thanks and by the way the ROI is on,y above

Few things first. 

1) Goal? Rental, Flip, wholesale, brrrr, house hack, etc?

2) Estimate Purchase Price?

3) Estimated Rehab/Value add cost?

4) Estimated Holding Time? relates to question #1

Must have this information to make the best decision.
