Can this work?

Buyer is interested in purchasing a home for $80k with approx. $50k in repairs. The after repair value is estimated at $214k based on comparables pulled by realtor.

Can the buyer take the executed contract to a hard money lender for the purchase and repairs, considering the total acquistion cost ($130k) is roughly 60% LTV?

What are the possible problems?

What's the buyer's exit strategy for the hard money loan?

What's the buyer's exit strategy for the property?

There will be points on the loan, typically 3-5. Rates are 12-15%, monthly interest only payment. Terms typically not more than a year.

May have a tough time finding someone to do the loan if they're planning on living there.
