Loan Examples

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

Loan Example 1

Marcia takes a fix-and-flip loan from Lafayette Financial in order to remodel a townhome to flip in Alamo, CA. The sales price of the house is $310,000. The loan-to-value (LTV) on the deal is 55%. This means Marcia will have to bring 45% of the purchase price to closing and the principle will be $170,500 on the note. The parameters of the note also include a five point origination fee which is to be paid at closing and a 12 month, interest only note with a 11% interest rate.

Marcia will have to contribute $139,500 at the closing (45% on the 55% LTV), plus she will need to pay the $8,525 origination fee. The monthly interest-only payments will then be $1,563 to Lafayette Financial. If Marcia meets her goal of a $372,000 sales price when the loan term expires, she would pocket a total profit of $34,720 after repaying the principle amount and subtracting the cash she paid at closing, the origination fee, and the total interest payments.

Loan Example 2

Lafayette Financial makes a loan to Harvey for a renovation project in Alamo, CA. The deal includes the following:

a) A $310,000 purchase price, b) a 75% loan to value (LTV), c) a 6 month term, d) a 8% interest rate, and e) a 2% origination fee.

If Harvey accomplishes his goal of a $418,500 sales price, the numbers of the deal would be the following:

$418,500 sales price
- $232,500 loan principle (75% LTV)
- $77,500 cash paid at closing (25% on 75% LTV)
- $4,650 origination points (2% of the $232,500 principle amount)
- $9,300 total interest paid (6 months x 8% interest)
-----------------------
= $94,550 gross profit (does not include taxes or rehab costs)
