Hi everyone, I'm trying to evaluating my first flip, but I'm getting confused trying to figure out what my monthly holding costs would be with a hard money loan. Here are the details: Cost of house is $450K, needs $150K in renovations. Closing costs 10K. Hard money lender will give us only 60%, at 12%. For a hard money loan does that mean I need to calculate the interest only on the mortgage ($242,000 since we'd put $178,000 down)? What am I missing?
