In real estate investing, a higher Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio means more of the project's capital comes from the bank and less from the investor's own money, which reduces the investor's potential capital loss during foreclosure scenarios. For example, in a $100 project, a 50% LTV requires the investor to put in $50 million, while an 80% LTV only requires $20 million, significantly protecting the investor's capital in worst-case scenarios.
