Loan Examples

The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Hard Money Mike.

Loan Example 1

Tamara finds a townhouse in Minneapolis, MN to remodel and re-sell. Since she does not have enough cash to purchase the $150,000 project outright, she decides to take out a private money loan from Hard Money Mike. The terms of the note include a 65% loan to value (LTV), so she must bring 35% of the price as cash at closing, making the principle loan amount $97,500. The rate on the note is 9% for a term of 18 months and the company requires a five point origination fee at the closing. The interest payments are to be paid on a monthly basis and the principle will be repaid after the property sells.

Tamara will have to bring $52,500 to closing (35% on the 65% LTV), plus she will pay the $4,875 origination fee. After the deal closes, she will pay the lender $731 in monthly interest fees, or 9% multiplied times $97,500 divided by 12 months in a year. Tamara's plan is to finish the renovation within the 18 months and re-sell it for $187,500. If she succeeds she will collect a gross profit of $19,463 ($187,500 sales price - $97,500 principle amount - $52,500 funds brough to closing - $4,875 origination fee - $13,163 in total interest paid.
