Loan Examples

The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Commercial Business Loans.

Loan Example 1

To accommodate her small business, Phyllis must purchase a new building. After being denied a conforming loan from her credit union, she obtains a commercial private money loan from Commercial Business Loans. The list price of the new property is $330,000 and the lending company agrees to fund 60% of the cost (the loan-to-value / "LTV"), or $198,000. The remaining $132,000 will be contributed by the borrower when the transaction is executed. The parameters of the note include a 12 month term, a 14% rate of interest, and a 3 origination fee paid by Phyllis when the transaction closes. In accordance with the parameters of this deal, Phyllis will need to pay an origination fee of $5,940 when the deal is executed. She will also begin making payments of $2,310 per month throughout the duration of the note and will pay back the principle at the expiration of the 12 month loan term. Should she decide to repay the note earlier, she can do so without an additional expense because there is not a pre-payment penalty attached to the loan.

Loan Example 2

Cecilia is a real estate investor in New Orleans, LA. She buys a run-down townhouse for a renovation project and obtains a private money loan from Commercial Business Loans with the following paramters:

$220,000 purchase price
80% loan-to-value (LTV)
6 month term
11% interest rate
5% origination fee

Assuming a $330,000 sales price after the 6 month term, the numbers for the deal would look like the following:

$330,000 sales price
- $176,000 principle (80% LTV)
- $44,000 cash paid at closing (20% on 80% LTV)
- $8,800 origination points (5% of the $176,000 principle)
- $9,680 interest payments (6 months x 11% interest)
-----------------------
= $91,520 total profit (does not include taxes or renovation costs)
