The way it works, which varies from lender to lender, is you can refinance all your properties into into a single loan, with a refinance up to 75% of Fair Market Value.

The prices vary from $80k-$175k (ideal purchase price so my numbers work).

They do vary depending on the area and type of property.Purchase costs are relatively similar, but depend on whether you're using financing or not.

That will vary by state, but it typically a lot less than closing costs with a traditional lender (for example, I just closed an owner finance deal a few weeks ago, and my total closing costs were just under $1100.00)Wish you the best.Let me know if you have any questions.

Otherwise, you'll end up with a patch that looks worse than the crack.As far as cost, it's almost entirely labor, which varies wildly from area to area and impossible to guess, but it's not a big job so not a lot of hours.
