You draw conclusions based on that data, and when you dont get a lead... that data must have been wrong right?

I'm drawing from personal experience.Well, I hope that helps.  

When you have this built up you can minus your effective gross income and divide by your cap rate and you should have a value. 

Typically, LTV is determined by taking the loan amount and dividing it by the property's value. 

Most Lenders require 6 months vesting on title to refinance-- what I would do as the lender is set up a purchase for you, meanwhile you'll have to have the seller draw up a new purchase contract where he will be paid the full amount owed.

If the amount is right, get a lawyer to draw up a contract.

You said you have $5 k in debt payments and a 24% dti. 5,000 divided by .24 equals 20,834.

If you feel you need to do something curbside to draw attention to the house then create a second pathway to the mailbox (and a really nice / cute mailbox) or dress up that wishing well - but don't kill the trees.

This will vary between 75% of purchase and 100% of rehab (funded in draws) and 100% of Purchase and 100% of rehab, even rolling the lender fees into the loan.

However they have something called a draw for the funds that go towards renovations.
