I have spoken with several local banks who do renovation loans and have been a bit surprised by their terms.The terms from both local banks have been a 5 year loan, 20 year amortization with a maximum loan of either 65% ARV or purchase price + rehab whichever is lower.Are these terms consistent with what others have found?

I'm more comfortable if I can find the same property by a few different routes and the information seems consistent.

The first week was great- expect when we realized that our neighbors behind us we on vacation and had returned. the family is a bunch of screamers, the mother, father and the 4 or so children. the parents often allow the children to hang out in the back yard for hours and hours and all they do is scream- (high pitch psychotic screaming). they have barely no backyard- is consists of a squeezed in lap pool, a full concrete yard and tall glass sliding doors. these were all approved by the arb and now they only accelerate the volume of noise they create. their screams bounce off of their concrete and house and project into our yard and THROUGH our windows and into our house.we asked them to talk and expressed how much the volume travels into our home- but the father was very rude, told be to f off and the mother said there is nothing she can do to stop it.the worse part is- my fiance has a panic anxiety condition and he just recently reached out and is seeking professional help with a certified psychiatrist and is also now enrolled in a cognitive behavioral program. we did not know he was suffering from panic attacks all these years- i honestly thought he was bipolar or mentally sick. with new hope that he may be able to learn to control his anxiety attacks this new issue with the neighbors has only made this situation worse. we purposely stay away from large crowds or loud events because it makes him have an episode and he becomes very ill. even now i am still trying understand it-i need to help him and decided that i need to stay by his side.i spoke with the property manager and she suggested submitting plans to the ARB for putting up a 5' x 6' fountain and to contact local authorities and file noise complaints. the issue is that my fiance is only getting worse (he has been out of a job for 6 years and i finally had hope he might get better and start working again)- a fountain wont stop the screaming noise we hear every single day. local authorities said to document noise and record- i have.now i am at the point that my fiance has lost 10 pounds in one week, he is constantly having attacks and if something doesn't stop the noise he will only get worse.what are my options?

Mine are all roughly in the same price range as OP from 100-175k, but consistently the expense ratio (excluding financing) is usually more like 30-35% of rent, with the only estimated components being repairs (I budget a fixed $600/year per property, and I use a vacancy rate of 4%) But including taxes, hoa, property mgmt, vacancy, repairs, insurance, advertising costs for turnover all the properties are in this narrow range.I know my NOI targets tend to be less agressive than full time RE investors, but I'm pretty happy with properties that hit close to 7% cap rate.
