Hard Money Loan Calculator

Prices a hard money loan the way one is actually written: points charged at closing, interest-only monthly payments, a minimum interest guarantee and the full principal falling due as a balloon. Enter the amount, the quoted rate, the points, the fees and how long you expect to hold, and it returns the payment, the cash due at closing, the interest over the hold and the effective annual cost of the money. A second mode sizes the loan on a purchase and rehab from the lender's cap on after repair value and its cap on total cost, and shows what you have to bring to close. Default interest, extension fees and draw fees are left out, so a real loan costs a little more than this.

Calculator Type

What a quoted hard money loan costs from closing to payoff.

The annual rate on the term sheet. Hard money is interest-only, so this is charged on the whole balance every month.
One point is 1% of the loan, paid at closing. Two to four is common.
Underwriting, document, appraisal, title and legal charges, as a single figure.
When the balloon falls due. Six to eighteen months is the usual range.
Leave at zero to cost the full term. A shorter hold saves interest but not the points.
Many lenders charge a set number of months of interest however early you pay off. Leave at zero if there is none.
