Clifton finds a townhouse in Clam Gulch, AK to remodel and resell. Since he does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, he takes a private money bridge loan from Number One Lending Corporation with the following parameters:
a) A $170,000 purchase price, b) a 65% loan to value (LTV), c) a 12 month term, d) a 8% interest rate, and e) a 4% origination fee.
If Clifton achieves his goal of a $255,000 sales price, the numbers of the project will be as follows:
$255,000 sales price
- $110,500 principle (65% LTV)
- $59,500 cash paid at closing (35% on 65% LTV)
- $4,420 origination points (4% of the $110,500 principle)
- $8,840 total interest paid (12 months x 8% interest)
-----------------------
= $71,740 total profit (doesn't include taxes or renovation costs)
