Understanding Prepayment Penalties

Mortgage loans are expensive to originate.  It is not uncommon for consumer mortgages to cost upwards of $9,000.  Lenders typically recoup those costs through a combination of upfront fees and interest revenue over the life of the loan. 

If a borrower pays off a loan shortly after origination, the lender is at risk of losing money on the loan. Enter prepayment penalties.  A prepayment penalty is a contractual clause that states the borrower is going to pay the lender an additional fee if the borrower pays the loan off early.  This really isn’t a penalty at all.  It is a way for the lender to make sure they don’t lose money on a loan.

For example a standard prepayment penalties with a 5 year structure of 5/4/3/2/1 structure. This means that if the borrower pays off the loan in year one, they have a 5% prepayment penalty, in year two, a 4% prepayment penalty, in year three, a 3% prepayment penalty, and so forth. So, you might be wondering how this affects the borrower, and the answer is, it depends on your investment strategy. Let’s dive in.

The rental investors looking to grow a legacy of rental properties and hold on to them long term (we call these properties “permanent rentals”) are not really affected by the prepayment penalty.  Since their investment strategy focuses on the lifetime of the loan, paying off the loan in the first five years is a moot point.

On the other hand, investors looking to purchase rental properties with flexibility to sell in the foreseeable future (we call these properties “transitional rentals”) are very concerned about the prepayment penalty. These investors are interested in market conditions and want to be able to sell the property at the right time without worrying about paying a penalty fee.

It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

Books by Dr William Edward Deming

William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American engineer, statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and management consultant.

Educated initially as an electrical engineer and later specializing in mathematical physics, he helped develop the sampling techniques still used by the U.S. Department of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In his book The New Economics for Industry, Government, and Education Deming championed the work of Walter Shewhart, including statistical process control, operational definitions, and what Deming called the “Shewhart Cycle, which had evolved into Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA). That was in response to the growing popularity of PDCA, which Deming viewed as tampering with the meaning of Shewhart’s original work.

Deming is best known for his work in Japan after WWII, particularly his work with the leaders of Japanese industry. That work began in July and August 1950, in Tokyo and at the Hakone Convention Center, when Deming delivered speeches on what he called “Statistical Product Quality Administration”.

Many in Japan credit Deming as one of the inspirations for what has become known as the Japanese post-war economic miracle of 1950 to 1960, when Japan rose from the ashes of war on the road to becoming the second-largest economy in the world through processes partially influenced by the ideas Deming taught

How To Buy & Finance Assisted Living Facilities Winston Rowe & Associates No Upfront Fee Loans

Assisted Living Facility Loans

Winston Rowe & Associates is seeing the current and future demand for assisted living facilities (ALF) rapidly growing rapidly for the next decade. Mainly because of the very fact that the baby boomers are now getting close to the retirement age which are children born between 1945 through 1964.

Most of them have already retired. These facilities provide housing solutions and special need care for the elderly people and those who are physically disabled or have accessible problems.

However, unlike nursing homes, these facilities do not provide round-the-clock assistance to their residents. The facilities they provide include a moderate level of assistance in things where the residents need special care.

They also offer meals and private living areas for the residents. These facilities are best suited for those who are suffering from the pain of living alone.

The following are some of the steps that you need to consider if you are planning to finance and start an assisted living business.

Obtain License:

As per the laws of the state, every such facility needs to obtain a license first. Therefore, you can start by applying for the license. The process can be a bit complicated and lengthy, but if you are genuine in your efforts and are well prepared, you should not find much difficulty.

You will have to attend interviews with different authorities. Everything that you have mentioned in your application will be inspected thoroughly. In particular, the state will want to make sure that the kind of services you are promising are something that you are capable to provide.

Type Of Facility:

The next thing that you have to consider is the type of facility that you want to offer – whether you want to cater to a large number of residents or just a small number of people. You will have to choose the facility building accordingly. If it is a small scale business, you can probably go ahead with a single family home, but if you want to provide services to a large number of people, you will need a multi-story building.
Financing:

If you are going to start your assisted living business on a small scale, you can probably go with self financing, but if it is a large project, you will have to look out for other financing options as well, such as Winston Rowe & Associate.
