Magdalena locates a property in the Cohoe neighborhood of Kasilof, AK to rehab and re-sell. Since she does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, she takes a bridge loan from South Side Investments with the following parameters:
$180,000 sales price
70% loan to value (LTV)
6 month term
8% rate of interest
1% origination fee
Once the rehab project is complete, if Magdalena sells the property for $252,000, the outcome would be as follows:
$252,000 sales price
- $126,000 principle (70% LTV)
- $54,000 cash paid at closing (30% on 70% LTV)
- $1,260 origination points (1% of the $126,000 principle)
- $5,040 total interest paid (6 months x 8% interest)
-----------------------
= $65,700 gross profit (does not include taxes or rehab costs)
