Holly takes a bridge loan from K & M Funding Group in order to remodel a townhome to flip in Sitka, AK. The list price of the property is $310,000. The lender agrees to issue a note with a 50% loan-to-value (LTV) so they are willing to extend $155,000 on the property. The terms of the loan dictate a 12% note for 6 months. They also require a 3 point origination fee, which will also be paid upon closing.
On top of the $4,650 origination fee, Holly will also need to fund $155,000 of the purchase with her own money, or 50% of the purchase price. After the loan is executed and Holly takes over the project, she will have to begin making monthly payments of $1,550 to K & M Funding Group ($155,000 principle x 12% / 12 months). At the end of the note, she sells the rehabed property for $465,000. After subtracting the $9,300 in interest payments ($1,550 times 6 months), the $4,650 origination fee, the $155,000 principle on the note, and the $155,000 she brought to closing, she will make a gross profit of $141,050 ($465,000 price minus $323,950 in total costs). This profit would be reduced by any renovation costs paid by Holly.
