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?
House cost = $500,000
Quantum of loan insured = (95% - 75%) * $500,000
= 20% * $500,000
= $100,000.
Mortgage balance = $ 400,000
Proceeds from sale of house = $ 220,000
Shortfall for bank = $400,000 - $220,000 = $180,000
Payment by the insurance company to the lender = $180,000 -
$100,000
= $80,000.
Payment by the insurance company to the lender = $80,000.
