Willard closes on a $390,000 renovation project in the Sunrise area of Hope, AK, using a bridge loan from Presitge Investment Corporation. The lender agrees to make a note with a 60% loan to value (LTV) so they will loan $234,000 on the project. The note is interest only, paid monthly, and is for 12 months at 10% interest with 1 points paid at closing.
Accordingly, the borrower will have to contribute a $156,000 down payment in addition to paying a $2,340 origination fee. Once the loan is executed and Willard takes on the project, he will begin making monthly payments of $1,950 to the lender ($234,000 principle x 10% / 12 months). If Willard sells the house for $526,500 after 12 months, he would realize a total profit of $110,760 after subtracting the original principle of $234,000, the money contributed at the close of $156,000, the origination fee of $2,340, and the total interest payments of $23,400. This profit doesn't account for building costs.
