@Helena Goyvaerts rate for a 30-year fix would be at least 8.5% with some points (1% of loan amount).Most DSR lenders have a minimum credit score requirement from the applicant.

-Max LTARV is typically 75% -Is a 12-24 Month Interest-only loan with a balloon payment - Minimum credit score is typically 600 -Interest on the Rehab is usually paid per the total drawn amount. 

One of the key inputs is a score reflecting a property’s condition (based on listing photos).

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Interesting approach, how would multiple refi affect my credit score?

Any local bank that does this kind of financing should be able to approve you as long as you have a good enough credit score and never declared BK.

You may need to pay points if you put less than 20% down, but lots of no point options once you get to 20% down as long as you have decent credit scores. 

To qualify for a loan, focus on having a credit score of at least 620 (or 580 for FHA loans), keeping your total monthly debt under 43% of your income, and saving enough for a down payment and closing costs—about 5-10% of the home's price in total.
