Therefore, the remaining balance at the end of five years of the 25-year scheduled payout, to be paid off as a lump sum balloon payment, would be $102,818.06.

Question 25

We have $2,000 a month we can spend for a house. Suppose that the taxes for that house would run $3,000 per year and the insurance would be $600. You go to Lender 1 to get qualified, and she quotes you an interest rate of 6.2% for a fixed rate, 20-year loan. Let’s do the math and see how much of a mortgage you could get.

Question 27

Let’s run that same scenario I introduced a few pages back. What if I borrow $100,000 at 5.8% for 20 years and pay two points at closing for the privilege of getting a lower interest rate. What does this do to the lender’s yield?
They loaned me $100,000, but I immediately returned $2,000 at the closing. In essence, they only loaned me $98,000. The monthly payment of $704.94 is based on a mortgage of $100,000. So let’s see how that plays out. What will the yield be if the lender receives a payment of $704.94 against a loan of $98,000?

Answer 27

The yield per month is .50 (to two decimal places). When we multiply it by 12 to get the annual yield, it comes out to 6.05%. So getting two points as an up-front fee will enable the lender to average a yield of 6.05%

Question 28

Suppose I sell my house and retire to Arizona. I have no immediate need for the money and hold a 20-year first mortgage of $250,000 for the buyer.
Five years later, I have some medical problems and need more money. I decide to cash in my mortgage. I find an investor who is willing to take over the loan - for the right price.
The interest rate on the loan is 6.5% and it is paid monthly. The investor reaches into his briefcase, pulls out his HP 12c, makes a few keystrokes and within 10 seconds says - “I will be happy to take that mortgage off your hands for $213,972.48.” I feel very relieved as we shake hands on the deal.
How did he arrive at that figure?

Maybe the interest rates have gone up in the last five years and the investor isn’t interested in being able to obtain only 6.5 % interest. Let’s assume the investor does not want to buy the mortgage unless he or she can get an 8% return on investment. How much would that be?
