Financing capacity

What the property can support

DSCR, debt yield and maximum LTV are tested together. Final proceeds remain subject to underwriting.

DSCR-supported loan—Based on NOI, rate, amortization and required DSCR

LTV-capped loan—Lending value × lender maximum LTV

Debt-yield-supported loan—NOI ÷ minimum debt yield

Maximum financeable loan—Lowest result from all three lender tests

Maximum financeable LTV—

Financing cushion——

NOI required at selected DSCR—

Annual debt constant—Annual debt service ÷ loan amount

Year 1 cash flow after debt—

Lending value—Lower of purchase price and appraised value

Before relying on the result

Validate the inputs that move the deal

NOI quality: reconcile the rent roll, leases, recoveries, vacancy and normalized operating expenses.
Value: lender LTV is commonly constrained by the lower of purchase price and appraised value.
Debt: confirm term, amortization, rate type, fees, reserves, recourse and lender-specific credit rules.
Exit: stress-test the exit cap, disposition costs, leasing costs and capital work—not just NOI growth.

Max price at target CoC—Target CoC: ——

Estimated exit value—Forward NOI ÷ exit cap rate

Net sale proceeds—After selling costs and debt repayment

Risk range

Three-case stress test

Conservative and upside cases adjust NOI growth, interest rate and exit cap rate.

Scenario convention

Conservative: NOI growth −1.0%, interest +0.75%, exit cap +0.50%. Upside: NOI growth +1.0%, interest −0.50%, exit cap −0.35%. Review the assumptions before relying on the range.

Hold-period model

Annual levered cash flow

—

Year	NOI	Debt service	Cash flow	Ending loan	Sale proceeds

Calculation methodology

Debt payments use a Canadian nominal rate compounded semi-annually. Acquisition LTV uses the lower of purchase price and appraised value. Exit value uses the next 12 months’ forward NOI. Total operating cash flow excludes sale proceeds; equity multiple and IRR include them. If the hold exceeds the mortgage term, refinancing costs and new loan terms are not modelled.
