Rosemary locates a duplex in Douglas, AK to renovate and resell. Since she does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, she takes a hard money bridge loan from Red City Finance with the following parameters:
a) A $380,000 purchase price, b) a 55% loan-to-value (LTV), c) a 12 month term, d) a 9% interest rate, and e) a 4% origination fee.
Based on a $532,000 sales price after the 12 month term, the final numbers for the deal would look like the following:
$532,000 sales price
- $209,000 principle (55% LTV)
- $171,000 cash paid at closing (45% on 55% LTV)
- $8,360 origination fee (4% of the $209,000 principle amount)
- $18,810 interest payments (12 months x 9% interest)
-----------------------
= $124,830 gross profit (doesn't include taxes or renovation costs)
