In this video, I explain the loan to value ratio (LTV) in commercial real estate, breaking down what it is and why lenders rely on it to make financing decisions. You’ll learn how to use the LTV formula to calculate the maximum loan amount a bank will offer on a property. I also cover the relationship between LTV and risk, showing why a higher ratio means more exposure for both the lender and the borrower. Whether you’re applying for your first commercial real estate loan or refining your underwriting process, this video walks you through everything with a clear, real-world LTV example.
