I used to routinely spend an average of $1,000 per (well-qualified) opportunity knowing that only 20% (one out of five) would convert to a deal. 

I know this issues will cause the rehab to take a bit longer, but now we are 1 month behind schedule.

The reasons for this are obvious, the lender needs to know the bid is accurate and there are time limits for completing the work...generally, a contractor will complete the work much faster or at least on schedule.  

Do the 80%LTV so that I get the best rate possible and schedule a double closing which would include a HELOC for the other 15% (95% total).

Yes the interest will be about 1% higher the am schedule is usually shorter (25 years) and they also want a re-fi in 7-10 years.

Before you've owned it long enough to appear on tax returns, an investor friendly lender will just do [ rent * 75% - PITI ].Once it appears on tax returns, if you need/want to exclude the one-time rehab expenses, put it on line 19 of schedule e with the comment "see statement X," and then statement X in extreme detail lists all the repair and rehab work you did, and furthermore you can provide me with every single receipt/invoice, exactly matching the line 19 number, exactly down to the penny (so, it's best just to make each invoice/receipt be a line-item on statement X... if Contractor John gives you 5 invoices throughout the project, show me 5 line-items).Only one-time repairs/rehab can be discounted from the mortgage DTI math.

A lot of lenders do not like 2nd lien positions and thus have higher rates and shorter repayment schedules. 

The flip side of this is you just hold them in your LLC (w/o filing partnership return) and let them all flow down to your personal tax return (usually your schedule E).  

Can you put both loan scenarios into amortization schedules and figure out your exact closing and interest costs over your planned 5 years.
