Loan Examples

The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Castle Country Investments.

Loan Example 1

Tony finds a condo in Acampo, CA to remodel and resell. Since he does not have enough cash available to acquire the $400,000 property outright, he decides to take out a fix and flip loan from Castle Country Investments. Since the lender agrees to a 55% loan to value, Tony will be required to put 45% down so the total amount of the loan will be $220,000. The terms of the deal also include a two point origination fee which will be paid at the closing and a 18 month, interest only note with a 9% interest rate.

Tony will need to bring $180,000 at closing (45% on the 55% loan to value), plus he will pay the $4,400 origination fee. After the loan is closed and Tony takes the project, he will have to begin making payments each month of $1,650 to Castle Country Investments ($220,000 principle x 9% / 12 months). At the expiration of the note, he sells the rehabed property for $580,000. After subtracting the $29,700 in interest payments ($1,650 multiplied times 18 months), the $4,400 origination fee, the $220,000 principle on the note, and the $180,000 he brought to the closing, he will make a gross profit of $145,900 ($580,000 price minus $434,100 in costs). This amount would then be reduced by any rehab costs paid by the borrow.

Loan Example 2

Castle Country Investments issues a loan to Jay for a remodeling project in Acampo, CA. The deal dictates the following:

$220,000 sales price
50% loan to value (LTV)
18 month term
11% rate of interest
5% origination fee

If Jay succeeds in his goal of a $308,000 sales price, the numbers of the project will be the following:

$308,000 sales price
- $110,000 loan principle (50% LTV)
- $110,000 down payment (50% on 50% LTV)
- $5,500 origination points (5% of the $110,000 principle amount)
- $18,150 interest payments (18 months x 11% interest)
-----------------------
= $64,350 total profit (does not include taxes or renovation costs)
