Loan Examples

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

Loan Example 1

Jane takes a hard money loan from Preston Ware in order to renovate a house to resale in Miami, FL. The price of the house is $300,000. The borrower will need to contribute 20% of the sales price in cash to closing based on a 80% loan-to-value set by the lender. This makes the principle amount from Preston Ware $240,000. The terms of the loan also include a five point origination fee which will be paid at closing and a 12 month, interest-only note with a 12% interest rate.

Jane will have to contribute $60,000 at closing (20% on the 80% loan-to-value), plus she will have to pay the $12,000 origination fee. Preston Ware will collect $2,400 in monthly interest payments from the Jane. This is computed by taking the full note value of $240,000, multiplying by the 12% interest rate, and then dividing that number by 12. Assuming Jane sells the renovated project for $375,000 at the end of the 12 month term, her total profit (not including rehab costs) would be $34,200. This is computed by taking the purchase price ($375,000) and subtracting the principle ($240,000), the origination cost ($12,000), the money she brought to closing ($60,000), and the total interest payments ($28,800).

Loan Example 2

Vivian is a real estate investor in Miami, FL. She buys a run-down townhouse for a remodeling project and takes out a private money loan from Preston Ware with the following terms:

$220,000 purchase price
70% loan-to-value (LTV)
12 month term
10% interest rate
4% origination fee

Based on a $330,000 sales price at the end of the 12 month term, the outcome for this deal would look like this:

$330,000 sales price
- $154,000 note principle (70% LTV)
- $66,000 cash paid at closing (30% on 70% LTV)
- $6,160 origination fee (4% of the $154,000 principle amount)
- $15,400 interest payments (12 months x 10% interest)
-----------------------
= $88,440 total profit (does not include taxes or renovation costs)
