What Is A Loan To Value (LTV) And How Does It Determine The Size Of The Loan?
The loan to value ratio is the amount of money you borrow compared with the price or appraised value of the home you are purchasing. Each loan has a specific LTV limit. For example: With a 95% LTV loan on a home priced at $125,000, you could borrow up to $118,750 (95% of $125,000), and you would have to pay $6,250 as a down payment.
