Loan Examples
The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Visio Lending.
Loan Example 1
Jeffery takes a private money loan from Visio Lending in order to rehab a duplex to resale in Houston, TX. The sales price of the house is $240,000. Since the lender agrees to a 75% loan to value, Jeffery will be required to put 25% down so the principle amount of the note will be $180,000. The interest rate on the note is 8% for a length of 18 months and the lender requires a four point origination fee at the close. The interest payments are to be paid on a monthly basis and the principle will be repaid after the sale of the property.
In addition to paying the $7,200 origination fee, Jeffery will also fund $60,000 of the purchase with his own funds, or 25% of the purchase price. The lender will collect $1,200 in monthly interest payments from the borrower. This is computed by taking the total note value of $180,000, multiplying that by the 8% interest rate, and then dividing that amount by 12. Jeffery's intention is to complete the rehab by the end of the 18 months and re-sell it for $300,000. If he succeeds he will earn a total profit of $31,200 ($300,000 sales price - $180,000 principle amount - $60,000 cash at closing - $7,200 origination fee - $21,600 in total interest paid.
Loan Example 2
Visio Lending issues a hard money loan to Jesse for a rehab project in Houston, TX. The deal includes the following:
$350,000 purchase price
85% loan to value (LTV)
12 month term
13% interest rate
4% origination feeAfter the rehab project is complete, if Jesse sells the property for $437,500, the numbers would be as follows:
$437,500 sales price
- $297,500 principle on note (85% LTV)
- $52,500 down payment (15% on 85% LTV)
- $11,900 origination fee (4% of the $297,500 principle)
- $38,675 total interest paid (12 months x 13% interest)
-----------------------
= $36,925 gross profit (does not include taxes or rehab costs) -

Visio - run, don't walk from them. Their rates are amongst the highest, they talk a good game when they want your sale and after you are locked into their process, welcome to hell on earth!Absolute lack of professionalism and communication skills, finger pointing at every stage! Different departments make it sound like the problem is elsewhere both within and outside the company. What was originally supposed to be a 30 day loan got extended to 45 days and now I'll be lucky if we close in 60+ days!Last time I consider Visio was the first and only time!

If you are looking for professional and respectable service don’t go here!! The worst customer service ever!! One of the agents are Chris his ID # is 4206. The worse person ever to deal with when trying to conduct business. He clearly didn’t want to take the call because he was rude from the beginning. Stay away from here. Especially for your mortgage needs!! Save yourself the time and aggravation.

Visio is a great lender. I spoke to Tracy and she was very helpful. They have funded two loans for us and everything worked out just fine.

I had a bad bad experience there. Hopefully that was just a unique mess up with me, but I will say that I hate to complain and rarely would post any review....
