Sam bought a house that costs $500,000. Sam got a 95% LTV loan. The lender demanded that Sam buy private mortgage insurance to insure the portion of the loan over 75% LTV. Suppose 5 years later, Sam’s mortgage balance is $400,000. However Sam defaults and his house sells for $220,000 in a foreclosure auction. How much will the mortgage insurance company pay Sam’s lender?
GIVEN DATA FROM THE PROBLEM
HOUSE THAT COST $500,000.
SAM GOT A 95% LTV LOAN.
INSURANCE OF LOAN OVER 75%
MORTGAGE BALANCE IS $400,000
HOUSE SELLS FOR $220,000
AS WE HAVE INSURANCE ABOVE 75%
I. E ; 75% * $500,000 = $375000
SINCE THE MORTGAGE VALUE DEPENDS ON THE TIME OF DEFAULT WAS $400,000
WHICH WAS $25,000 IS ABOVE THE VALUE OF $37,5000.
The amount payable by the Mortgage Insurance Company to Sam's Lender is $25000
