Let us start off by calculating the interest earned over the four years of the mortgage:
A= Amount
P= the Principal
R= the rate
N= Number of years
A=P (1+R/100)^n
P= $100,000
R=12%
N=30 years
In order to find the interest charge we have to solve for A, so:
A=100,000(1+12/100)^30
A=100,000(1.12)^30
A=$2,995,992
Interest earned now can be found from getting the difference between the principal and amount.
I= A-P
I= 2995992-100000
I= $1,995,992
Now we take into account the new loan with a lower interest rate:
P= $100000
R= 10%
N= 25
A= 100,000(1+10/100)^25
A= 100,000(1.1)^25
A= $1,083,470
I= A-P
=1,083,470-100,000
=$983,470
Other than the lower interest rate, Three points and $2,000 dollars in closing costs have been charged to the new loan. One point equals one percent, therefore three points is three percent. …show more content…

You can clearly see this by the interest of both loans. Therefore, refinancing would be accruing more interest and would be working for him. His best interest would be to focus on selling or renting out the property to make a profit out of it.
On the flipside of things, if the investor planned on only five more years of owing the property, it would be in his best interest to refi because he wouldn’t pay that much interest within that time frame. Profits accumulated in the five years would be less compared to the duration of the loan and the interest wouldn’t have accrued so much to be even
