Loan Examples

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

Loan Example 1

Jaime runs a business in Los Angeles, CA and needs to buy a new office space to run his operations. Because he cannot obtain a commercial mortgage from a bank, he looks to The Legacy Group for a commercial private money loan. The building is listed for $250,000. Jaime will need to put 35% down, or $87,500, because the lender will only loan 65% of the transaction (the loan to value or "LTV"). This means the principle amount on the deal will be $162,500. The loan also specifies a 6 month length, a 8% interest rate, interest only payments paid monthly with a final payment when the note expires (with no pre-payment penalty), and a 2 point origination charge. Jaime will need to pay the origination fee of $3,250 and will then begin making the interest payments of $1,083 ($162,500 principle amount x 8% interest / 12 months). He can pay back the note early if he wants to because there is not a pre-payment penalty but he will be responsible for paying off the full principle amount when he closes the loan.

Loan Example 2

Jessie locates a house in Los Angeles, CA to remodel and sell. Because he does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, he takes a hard money loan from The Legacy Group with the following parameters:

a) A $310,000 sales price, b) a 55% loan to value (LTV), c) a 18 month term, d) a 9% interest rate, and e) a 5% origination fee.

Jessie intends to sell the project at the end of the term for $465,000. If he achieves this goal, the deal numbers will be the following:

$465,000 sales price
- $170,500 principle (55% LTV)
- $139,500 cash paid at closing (45% on 55% LTV)
- $8,525 origination fee (5% of the $170,500 principle)
- $23,018 interest payments (18 months x 9% interest)
