If you're planning to sink $30,000 in rehab costs into the property up-front, I'm guessing it won't qualify for a conventional loan right away, and that you'll need to initially borrow from a hard-money / portfolio / private lender at a (much) higher interest rate, and then refinance once the property qualifies for a conventional loan.Lastly, nice job being thorough in your expense itemizations.
