A CMBS provision defines appraisal reduction amount (ARA) as max(0, loan balance - 90% of appraised value) when no other advances, fees, taxes, escrows, reserves, insurance proceeds, or adjustments apply. It also defines the interest-advance factor as (loan balance - ARA) / loan balance.

  1. ARA 5.6M; advance factor 72%
  2. ARA 4.0M; advance factor 80%
  3. ARA 5.6M; advance factor 28%
