This reduces the amount borrowed and decreases the ratio. $5,000 in the example above can have a big enough impact:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">$45,000\/$100,000 x 100 = 45% LTV<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Look for any expenses including travel and trade shows in the near future that can be cancelled. The savings can be used to increase the deposit amount, which lowers your loan to value ratio. The next easiest way is if you can finance more of the purchase yourself and ask for less money.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you have investments like stocks and bonds, you can sell them and put the money toward the buying price. This lowers the amount of money being borrowed, decreasing the amount you divide by the asset\u2019s value and decreasing the loan to value ratio.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When the asset is a vehicle or equipment, see if there is one that is appraised at a higher value but costs roughly the same. The higher value divided by the same amount borrowed lowers the LTV ratio. If the asset is property, a property assessment for taxes will occur, and you can wait until the new valuation comes in. This could increase the value even if the buying price is the same.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One final way to lower your LTV ratio is to pay all fees and costs up front, like the origination fee that covers administrative costs, instead of having the costs included in monthly payments. If the origination fee is rolled into the amount borrowed, your LTV ratio increases along with your risk levels.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Loan to value ratios are used by lenders to determine the risk of a loan based on the asset being purchased. They apply to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalfunding.com\/equipment-leasing\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">equipment financing<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalfunding.com\/small-business-loans\/inventory-financing-loans\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">inventory loans<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and real estate.
