Question

An investor buys a property for $608,000 with a 25-year mortgage and monthly payments at 8.10% APR. After 18 months the investor resells the property for $667,525. How much cash will the investor have from the sale, once the mortgage is paid off

Answer 1

Answer:

$71,520

Explanation:

we must first determine the monthly payment:

monthly payment = present value / annuity factor

• present value = $608,000
• PV annuity factor, 0.675%, 300 periods = 128.46

monthly payment = $608,000 / 128.46 = $4,732.99

Then I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. After the 18th payment, the principal balance is $596,005.

The investor will have $667,525 - $596,005 = $71,520
