Do send the original (signed) agreement to the title company?

The 70% that they typically refer to is a very common LTV % of the ARV for Hard Money lenders.ARV x 70% = max loanmax loan - repairs - closing costs (hard money origination fees, title fees, state fees) = MAOHopefully that helps, but like I said the closings costs vary by lender.

Loan origination fee is 0.5%.

As you noted in your original post, if you refi the condo, you're going to be negative cash flow and unlikely to match the rate you currently have on your property.
