Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Total Loan Cost = (Loan Amount × Points %) + (Monthly Interest × Term) + Underwriting/Doc Fees

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Upfront Points Cash Deduction

Points Cost = Loan Amount × (Points / 100). For example: $280,000 × 2.5% = $7,000 deducted at closing table.

2
Monthly Interest-Only Cash Outflow

Monthly Interest = (Loan Amount × Interest Rate%) / 12 = ($280,000 × 11.5%) / 12 = $2,683.33/mo.

3
Effective Annualized APR Formulation

Because points are paid upfront over a short 6-month term, the effective annualized APR is significantly higher than the nominal coupon rate: Effective APR = 11.5% + (2.5% × 12 / 6) = 16.5%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do hard money lenders look for during approval? +
Unlike traditional mortgage banks that scrutinize personal tax returns and W-2 paystubs, hard money lenders focus on the asset's After Repair Value (ARV), the borrower's track record of successful flips, and sufficient equity cushion (typically 65-75% ARV limit).
Can hard money points be rolled into the loan balance? +
Many hard money lenders allow points, processing fees, and even an interest reserve to be financed directly into the total loan balance, minimizing out-of-pocket cash required at closing.
