Explanation / Answer

This credit is an ordinary mortgage, monthly interest rate of 3.9% / 12, 30 * 12 period, the loan amount = 105,500 * (15%), then use Excel inside = PMT () function calculates the month down to him also $ 422.97,6 months to go further $ 2,537.81
plus his other miscellaneous fees (you miscalculated 197,335), he spent a total of 2,537.81 + 105,500 * 105,500 * 15% + 1.7% + 325 + 210 + 420 + 300 + 240 + 620 + 375 + 135 000 +8500 * 6 * 7% + 1000 = 43,471.31,
then he sold the house was 135,000, after deducting front fees, after deducting the early repayment of bank loans (ie, the remaining bank mortgage loans gold)
88,879.41 (with Excel inside = PV () function to calculate, assuming there is no prepayment fee, etc.),
his net profit: 2,649.28,
return on assets 2,649.28 / 43,471.31 = 6.09%,
annualized after the assets was: 12.19%
