Keeping your loan over-collateralized can help insulate the loan from receiving a margin call.
The illustration below is intended to show the incremental protection from margin calls that additional collateral can provide. All Unchained loans are originated at a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 40%, which equals a collateral-to-principal (CTP) ratio of 250%. The table is best read from left to right, beginning with the CTP at loan origination.
