Know if the deal
survives the debt.

Most deals don't fail because the asset is bad. They fail because the debt doesn't work. Ridge Ratio helps real estate investors and business buyers test DSCR, LTV, cash flow, lender risk, and downside scenarios — before pursuing a deal.

The problem

The deal looks good.
The debt tells a different story.

A property can show strong rent. A business can post solid EBITDA. A broker can make the numbers look clean. But once you layer in the loan, everything changes.

The payment crushes cash flow.
The DSCR falls below lender minimums.
The rate moves against you.
The lender wants more equity.
The downside case quietly fails.
You find out too late to walk away.

Most buyers don't lose because they can't find deals.
They lose because they can't quickly tell which deals are financeable.

The solution

Ridge Ratio turns a messy deal
into a lender-style decision.

Enter the purchase price, income, loan amount, rate, and key assumptions. Ridge Ratio tells you exactly what a lender will see — before the lender sees it.

DSCR & LTV
Computed against actual lender thresholds, not vibes.
Cash flow after debt
What you actually keep after the bank gets paid.
Max supportable loan
The ceiling above which the deal can't service debt.
Downside DSCR
Stress-tested with a realistic income haircut.
Red flags
Problem, why it matters, and how to fix it — line-item.
Deal score
A 0–100 verdict that mirrors lender underwriting logic.

The real risk

A profitable deal can still fail.

Not because the business is bad. Not because the property is bad. Because the debt structure does not work.

The payment is too high

Debt service eats the cash flow. A deal generating $120K/yr can't survive a $130K annual payment — no matter how good the asset is.

The rate changed

A deal that works at 6% can fail at 8.5%. Rate sensitivity is the most overlooked risk. Ridge Ratio shows you exactly where the breakpoint is.

The structure is wrong

Amortization, term, IO periods, and seller financing change the entire outcome. The same deal can work or fail based purely on debt structure.
