Keeping a debt-to-asset ratio at 5.1% through the NetWorthNav app relies on maintaining a conservative leverage model where liabilities form a tiny fraction of total assets.
How it actually works:
Pull every asset into a single list and value each one at its current forced-liquidation price, not replacement value.
List every liability owed down to the exact dollar, separating fixed low-interest debt from any variable obligations.
Divide total liabilities by total assets, then restrict new borrowing whenever that quotient climbs above 10%.
Where it breaks: This conservative leverage model fails if you need rapid capital expansion or aggressive growth where higher debt magnifies returns in an appreciating market.
