Hard Money Loan Calculator

See what a hard money loan looks like on your deal: the rate, the points, the monthly interest, the down payment, the loan at closing, the renovation holdback and the total loan, quoted by the same pricing engine that prices a real file.

An indicative quote from our live pricing engine, not a commitment to lend. Program rules are on our rates and requirements page; Price a Deal takes the property address and issues the term sheet.

01 - The Calculator

The deal on one side. The loan on the other.

The 3-day option is California only. The state sets the program and the pricing.

The Property

Funded on a fix and flip; on the buyer for a bridge or the 3-day option.

Needed on a fix and flip: the total loan is capped on it. An estimate is fine.

You

A ballpark is fine, nothing is pulled. Leave it empty to price on the no-score terms.

Moves the leverage and the rate.

Use a different rate to see the monthly interest at a rate you were quoted elsewhere.

This is not a commitment to lend. An indicative quote from our live pricing engine. Lender fees, title, escrow, the appraisal, prepaid interest and taxes are on top of the down payment and the points. Business-purpose loans on investment property only.

02 - How the Math Works

How a hard money loan is sized.

Down payment
Experience and score set it

On a fix and flip, the loan at closing is a share of the price set by your completed projects in the last three years and your credit band; the quote names the share it used. The 3-day California option is sized on the value. down payment = price - loan at closing

Renovation
Funded on top, paid in draws

On a fix and flip the budget is added to the loan and released after each inspection as the work completes. On a bridge or the 3-day option the renovation is the buyer's. total loan = loan at closing + holdback

ARV cap
The value when finished binds

The total loan stays under a share of the after-repair value. When that cap binds, part of the budget falls outside the loan or the down payment rises, and the quote says which cap bound.

Cost
Quoted live, per scenario

The rate and the points come from our live pricing engine, the same one behind Price a Deal, so the calculator and a real quote never disagree. Interest runs on the funds drawn. monthly interest = funds drawn x rate / 12

Score
A ballpark prices it

A credit band moves the leverage and the rate; nothing is pulled. Leave the score empty and the engine prices on its no-score terms, with lower leverage. The 3-day option has no minimum score.

Limits
Each program has its box

Minimum and maximum loan sizes differ by program, and the quote says when a figure falls outside them; larger files go to the desk. Every live opportunity on this site is priced with exactly these rules.

How the rate is set, and what it takes to qualify, is on the rates and requirements page. Read about the programs themselves: fix and flip loans, bridge loans, hard money loans.
