Nelda closes on a $260,000 renovation project in the Downtown neighborhood of Anchorage, AK, using a hard money bridge loan from Brook View Lending Group. The loan to value (LTV) on the note is 55%. This means Nelda will need to bring 45% of the purchase price to closing and the principle amount will be $143,000 on the note. The parameters of the deal dictate a 14% note for 18 months. They also stipulate a 3 point origination fee, which will also be paid when the property closes.
Therefore, Nelda will need to contribute a $117,000 down payment plus pay a $4,290 origination fee. The lender will collect $1,668 in monthly interest payments from the Nelda. This is computed by taking the full note amount of $143,000, multiplying by the 14% rate of interest, and then dividing that amount by 12. Nelda's intention is to finish the rehab by the end of the 18 months and re-sell it for $364,000. If she succeeds she will earn a total profit of $69,680 ($364,000 price - $143,000 principle amount - $117,000 cash paid at closing - $4,290 origination fee - $30,030 in total interest payments.
