Loan Examples

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

Loan Example 1

To facilitate her small business, Melissa must acquire a new commercial building. After she is turned down for conforming loan from her bank, she applies for a commercial hard money loan from Lavan Financial Group. The building is listed for $210,000. Melissa will have to put 15% down, or $31,500, because the lender will only loan 85% of the purchase (the loan to value or "LTV"). Accordingly, the principle amount on the note is $178,500. The lender also specifies the following terms of the deal: 1) a 14% rate of interest, 2) a 12 month term with interest only payments monthly, 3) an origination fee of 5 points paid by Melissa at closing, and 4) no fees for pre-payment. By the parameters of this deal, Melissa will need to pay an origination fee of $8,925 at the closing (5% x $178,500 principle amount) and will then start making payments of $2,083 monthly ($178,500 principle amount x 14% interest / 12 months). Finally, she will make a balloon payment of the $178,500 principle amount upon expiration of the loan, or before if she decides.

Loan Example 2

Ron is a an investor in Bridgeport, CT. He purchases an older townhouse for a renovation project and takes out a private money loan from Lavan Financial Group with the following features:

a) A $390,000 sales price, b) a 60% loan to value (LTV), c) a 6 month term, d) a 13% interest rate, and e) a 4% origination fee.

If Ron accomplishes his goal of a $585,000 sales price, the final numbers of the deal will be the following:

$585,000 sales price
- $234,000 loan principle (60% LTV)
- $156,000 cash paid at closing (40% on 60% LTV)
- $9,360 origination points (4% of the $234,000 principle)
- $15,210 total interest paid (6 months x 13% interest)
-----------------------
= $170,430 gross profit (does not include taxes or rehab costs)
