bearing and paid back quarterly based on principle reduction of the loans)
-
Yield requirement for a funding institution to be Prime + five percent.

III. Example
A lot is sold for $20,000 with $2,000 down payment. Developer carries
the paper at 12% for 120 months, monthly payment is $258.25 , payer credit
is A-.
-
The note will be discounted only to $17,126.43 (Yield 13.25%, ITV=85.6%)
-
There is a reserve of 10% which in this case equals to $1,800
-
Fee agreement is 2% or $306.52
-
The total amount the developer would receive up front is $15,019.91 (ITV=75.1%)
and the developer will still get the reserve back, so the total receivable
will be $16,819.91 or 93.44 cents on the dollar

III. Example
Developer has 100 notes that have a total monthly payments of $21,247.04
and a value of $1,000,000. The lender will provide $750,000 to the developer
who pledges the 100 notes to the lender. The lender creates a loan that
amortizes over five years and has a monthly payment of $16,778.24. Now
the first $16,778.24 of the monthly pay of the 100 notes belongs to the
lender, but the remaining $4,468.80 belongs to the developer and pays down
the principle balance and fees. After the loan is paid off all remaining
balances on the notes revert back to the developer.
