The rate using the current index minus the margin would be 2.75%. The floor is 2.75%, which is the lowest rate allowed.  This rate applies to loans up to a 50% CLTV ratio with a 25-year repayment term. Other rates are available up to 80% Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) and loans closing in first or second lien position. The maximum CLTV is 75% for loans greater than $250,000 up to $350,000. For loan amounts greater than $350,000 up to $500,000, the maximum CLTV is 75% for loans closing in first lien position and 65% for loans closing in second lien position.
