Need help calculating the principle balance- bought junior lien
So I bought a junior lien and got the payoff and reinstatement amounts. I can't figure out what the principle balance will be if I choose to just reinstate the loan. Here are the major numbers I'm working with.
Unpaid Principal Balance: $652,318.91
Total payoff amount: $816,335.37
Total interest: $98,845.47
Total Amount to Reinstate good through 11/12/2015: $271,256.66
Daily interest accrual: $46.22
Is it safe to say that after I reinstate the loan, the principle balance will be $545,078.71 ($816,335.37-$271,256.66)??
I feel like somehow something doesn't add up. Why does it state that the unpaid principle balance is $652,318.91, when the note was originally for only $650,000. Also, why is the reinstatement amount so high, if the total payoff $816,335.37 minus the loan balance $652,318.91 is only $164,016.46. Do you get a better deal if you pay off the entire amount? Is it possible that if I reinstate the loan at the $271k, that the principle balance will be still at the $652k?
