The bathroom and laundry hook are also built there, which I believe should have a plumbing permit.

I think "refinance" costs are essentially the same thing as "loan" costs, right?

I’ll be behind on repairs and might lose my contractor if I’m not ready to roll when his schedule allows.Also, the repairs are pretty significant...this side of the duplex doesn’t have central air, so we have to get that installed, total bathroom gut b/c the tub is cracked and the sink leaks and toilet is 50 years old....I can’t do this stuff while they remain living there.

You can essentially get 2 assets for the price of 1!

The loan type would likely be a short term loan that would require you to refinance out of it after the rehab is completed...essentially the BRRRRR method.Secondly, in theory, the property should be improved and worth more....but how much more?  

Right now I am considering buying a condo that is built to rent out to students essentially.

I am not sure what info I can provide to assist in my question but essentially I am trying to decide between 2 mortgage options for a new rental property. 30 year w/ 25% down and 6k in closing or 20 year w/ 15% down and 4K in closing. 

I'm looking at purchasing a property that doesn't have a bathroom on the ground floor.

Because groceries were deemed “essential” during the pandemic, they were permitted to stay open and operate.

Its has new floors, kitchen, bathrooms, etc....
