A developer wants to finance a project costing $1.5 million with a 70 percent, 20-year loan at an interest rate of 4.5 percent. The projects NOI is expected to be $100,000 during year 1 and the NOI, as well as its value, is expected to increase at an annual rate of 2 percent thereafter. The lender will require an initial debt coverage ratio of at least 1.20.
