Would your plan be to use the equity in the first to cover all the costs associated with the second? If that's the case, even if you could get all 22K out it wouldn't be enough for a 100% financed hard money loan. You're gonna need to put together more money

Your down payment would be based on your purchase price of 100k. The inverse of this would represent the LTV your lender is willing to go up to. So if your lender was offering you 80% LTV you would be paying a down payment of 80K. They are bound, however, by their maximum ARV.Also worth noting all of the different definitions lenders apply to the acronyms. in our area lenders LTV is as-is value and ARV is after repair. It differs elsewhere.

It would depend on the LTV the lender is offering. At 100% financing I'd think you're closer to 200K with cushion. As your LTV comes down so does your buyability

Talk to lenders first. And there's nothing special about a foreclosure (an REO) other than it's owned by a lender. There are REOs that are in better condition than owner-occupied sales.
