The LTV of the rehab cost must be less than 75%. i.e: I own a $2M dilapidated building outright, (let's assume the building is worth $2M). I am seeking a loan to finance an extensive construction/renovation project. The most Spectra would lend here is $1.5M. So if my desired construction budget is $1.2M, we'd be able to fund 100% of the $1.2M, based on the LTV Threshold.
