Kathleen takes a bridge loan from Flourish Funding in order to renovate a condo to flip in Soldotna, AK. The list price of the house is $280,000. The lender agrees to make a note with a 80% loan to value (LTV) so they will extend $224,000 on the project. The parameters of the note also include a five point origination fee which is to be paid at the closing and a 12 month, interest-only note with a 11% rate of interest.
In accordance with the parameters of the loan, Kathleen will be required to pay a $11,200 origination fee in addition to 20% of the purchase price, or $56,000, based on the 80% LTV. Once the loan is closed and Kathleen takes over the property, she will need to begin making payments each month of $2,053 to Flourish Funding ($224,000 principle x 11% / 12 months). Assuming she sells the remodeled project for $378,000 at the end of the 12 month term, her total profit (not including rehab expenses) would be $62,160. This is computed by taking the sales price ($378,000) and subtracting the original principle ($224,000), the origination fee ($11,200), the money she brought to closing ($56,000), and the total interest expenses ($24,640).
