A SMALL CHANGE / A DIFFERENT VIEW

Current scenario60%
Changed assumption62.61%

One assumption changes; everything else stays the same. This is a stress scenario, not a forecast.

READ THE RESULT

What the numbers are telling you.

  1. First-loan LTV and combined LTV answer different questions when a second lien exists.
  2. A home-value assumption is not an appraisal or an approved lender value.
  3. Gross equity is before selling, payoff and discharge charges.
A GOOD QUESTION

Why is combined LTV higher than first-loan LTV?

Combined LTV includes the other property-secured balances you enter. Omitting a second mortgage or HELOC can overstate available equity.
