Most lenders are going to be limited to 70% of ARV ($560,000 total loan amount) but that means they could fund 85% or a bit higher of purchase price + rehab ($560,000/$645,000 = 86.8%), which is solid.

Purchase price: $376,613 Moved to Orange Park, Florida, from Delaware three years ago, choosing this home as the perfect place to settle and grow.

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side.
