Cross-Collateral Feasibility

Estimate whether adding collateral improves a loan structure. Add each property's value and existing debt, set the loan amount you want, and watch the combined picture update live.

Educational estimate only. This tool is not an offer, quote, or underwriting decision, and its bands are illustrative - not 1st Private Capital lending criteria.

Combined LTV - (existing debt + requested loan) / total value -

Enter at least one property value and a requested loan amount to see the combined loan-to-value readout.

Bands are illustrative reference points for thinking about leverage - they are not 1st Private Capital underwriting thresholds. Actual structures depend on the full transaction.

02 - How the Math Works

No black box. Here is every formula.

The whole calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

01
Total collateral value

sum of every property's estimated value

Only properties with a value entered are counted.

02
Gross equity

total value - total existing debt

The raw equity in the pool before any new loan.

03
Combined LTV

(total existing debt + requested loan) / total value

The headline number: how leveraged the whole pool would be with the new loan in place.

04
Approx. usable equity

(70% x total value) - total existing debt

An illustrative estimate of the equity a lender could lend against before the pool passes a 70% combined LTV reference point. The 70% figure is illustrative only.

05
Illustrative bands

60% and below: strong - 60-70%: workable - 70-80%: tight - above 80%: stretched

Qualitative reference bands for reading the combined LTV. They are illustrative, not 1st Private Capital underwriting thresholds - real decisions consider the whole transaction.

03 - When It Helps

What adding collateral actually does.

Lowers Combined LTV
Equity-rich property in, leverage down

Adding a property with real untapped equity increases total value faster than total debt - so the combined LTV drops and the structure strengthens.

Watch For
Leveraged collateral adds little

A property that is already heavily financed brings debt along with value. It can leave the combined LTV nearly unchanged - or worse.

The Trade
More security, more encumbrance

Cross-collateral pledges additional property to secure one loan. It can unlock a structure a single asset cannot - the trade is that more of your portfolio is encumbered.

Cross-collateralized loans are one of the structures 1st Private Capital works with. Read more on the Hard Money page.
