Loan Examples
The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Gorilla Capital.
Loan Example 1
Darrell closes on a $180,000 rehab project in Eugene, OR, using a fix and flip loan from Gorilla Capital. The terms of the note include a 55% loan to value (LTV), so he must contribute 45% of the price as cash to closing, which makes the principle loan amount $99,000. The interest rate on the loan is 14% for a length of 18 months and the company requires a two point origination fee at the close. The interest is to be paid on a monthly basis and the principle amount will be paid back after the sale of the property.
On top of the $1,980 origination fee, Darrell will also fund $81,000 of the purchase with his own money, or 45% of the sales price. Once the loan is executed and Darrell takes over the property, he will need to begin making payments each month of $1,155 to the lender ($99,000 principle x 14% / 12 months). At the expiration of the loan, he sells the renovated property for $225,000. After deducting the $20,790 in interest payments ($1,155 multiplied times 18 months), the $1,980 origination fee, the $99,000 principle on the loan, and the $81,000 he brought to the closing, he will earn a gross profit of $22,230 ($225,000 price minus $202,770 in costs). This amount would then be reduced by any rehab costs paid out of pocket.
Loan Example 2
Paige takes out a loan from Gorilla Capital so she can renovate a property to re-sell in Eugene, OR. The deal has the following terms:
$300,000 sales price
85% loan to value (LTV)
18 month term
10% rate of interest
4% origination feeOnce the rehab project is completed, if Paige sells the project for $360,000, the outcome would be as follows:
$360,000 sales price
- $255,000 note principle (85% LTV)
- $45,000 down payment (15% on 85% LTV)
- $10,200 origination fee (4% of the $255,000 principle)
- $38,250 total interest paid (18 months x 10% interest)
-----------------------
= $11,550 gross profit (does not include taxes or renovation costs) -

HORRENDOUS and very DISHONEST people. The CEO, John Helmick is abusive, sneaky, devious and a terrible person. Read the fine print carefully. THEY OWN THE PROPERTIES AND CAN CUT YOU OUT (and will happily do so) AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON AND WITHOUT NOTICE. Despite the fact that they own the property, you will pay them interest on the money they loan themselves to buy it and you will put up the money to rehab it. Then if they don't cut you out like they did to us when we complained, you will only get paid back (forget about profit) IF there's anything left after they tack on nebulous fees which are not in the contract. Don't like it? You'll have to spend money to sue them. CEO Helmick is a lawyer so they have no costs.They tried to sell a property out from under us and not pay us anything despite the fact we poured over $50K into the rehab and had contributed tot he down payment. We had to file a mechanic's lien to protect our position and that won't cover the down payment or the payments we made to them. With so many great hard money lenders, why risk it? Read all of the reviews. TERRIBLE!
