What is Loan-to-Value (LTV)?
Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is the percentage of the mortgage amount and the appraised value or sales price, whichever is lower. If the sales price is $100,000. and the appraised value is $102,000. and the mortgage amount is $75,000., the loan to value would be 75% ($75,000 divided by $100,000). The lender is lending 75% of the value of the property.
