If the goal is to ref and hold, then it may be less of a concern.

Make sure to connect with local lenders and brokers too as it's beneficial for achieving your real estate goals.

My goal is to avoid major rehabs which for me lowers risk. 

Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your investment goals, your reason for investing, your constraints, etc.

Goal is to wholesale this one.I'm familiar with analyzing deals with seller financing where a good deal would be 3-5x ROIC, but I'm not as familiar with analyzing for cash deals, could I get some feedback for this one?

Understanding your long term goals is important in making a decision like this.
