Loan Examples

The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Equity Max.

Loan Example 1

Virgil finds a condo in Miami, FL to rehab and sell. Since he does not have enough cash to buy the $310,000 house outright, he takes out a private money loan from Equity Max. The terms of the loan include a 85% loan to value (LTV), so he must bring 15% of the price as cash to closing, which makes the principle loan amount $263,500. The parameters of the note also include a two percent origination fee which is to be paid at the closing and a 6 month, interest-only note with a 13% interest rate.

Accordingly, the borrower will be required to contribute a $46,500 down payment in addition to paying a $5,270 origination fee. After the deal closes, he will need to pay Equity Max $2,855 in monthly interest fees, or 13% times $263,500 divided by 12 months in the year. At the end of the loan, he sells the renovated house for $434,000. After deducting the $17,128 in total interest payments ($2,855 times 6 months), the $5,270 origination fee, the $263,500 principle on the loan, and the $46,500 he brought to the closing, he will earn a gross profit of $101,603 ($434,000 price minus $332,398 in total costs). This amount would be reduced by any building costs paid by Virgil.

Loan Example 2

Jeannette locates a duplex in Miami, FL to rehab and resell. Since she does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, she takes a fix and flip loan from Equity Max with the following parameters:

$330,000 sales price
80% loan to value (LTV)
12 month term
9% rate of interest
4% origination fee

If Jeannette achieves her goal of a $429,000 sales price, the outcome of the deal will be the following:

$429,000 sales price
- $264,000 loan principle (80% LTV)
- $66,000 down payment (20% on 80% LTV)
- $10,560 origination fee (4% of the $264,000 principle)
- $23,760 interest payments (12 months x 9% interest)
-----------------------
= $64,680 gross profit (does not include taxes or rehab costs)
