With rehabs you can get to significantly lower purchase prices and typically the lender will just be looking for a100k+ ARV so that you can refinance out of the loan once rehab is completed (100k as-is value is pretty standard for DSCR loans).With rehabs experience is the biggest factor to LTV and rate so partnering up with someone for the first one or first 3 will get you significantly better terms (working in the same area can also provide benefits in terms of LTV).
