Now there are programs out there like the 203k and Portfolio Lenders may have some unique programs...but just sticking to the basics, these are the percentages.Conventional Loan Example:ARV = $150,000Purchase Price: $125,000Cost to Rehab: $10,000Residential Loan Amount (80%of the Purchase Price and not the ARV): $100,000 (Meaning you would need to bring $25,000 to the closing+closing costs+reserves+cost to rehab)Commercial Loan Amount (75% of the Purchase Price and not the ARV): $93,750 (Meaning you would need to bring $31,250 to the closing+closing costs+reserves+cost to rehab)As you can see...the ARV doesn't matter with Conventional Financing unless you are using a 203k or other type of Construction to Perm Loan.Hard Money Lenders will look at the ARV of the property and will typically loan between 65-70%ARV.
