To demonstrate this point, we again assume our borrower obtained the $60,000 loan at
12 percent for 30 years and was charged an $1,800 (3 percent) loan origination fee. At the
end of five years, the borrower decides to sell the property. The mortgage contains a due-on-sale clause; hence, the loan balance must be repaid at the time the property is sold. What
will be the effective interest rate on the loan as a result of both the origination fee and early
loan repayment?
