Loan-to-Value
An acronym often encountered in the home buying or refinancing
process, LTV describes loan amount as a percentage of the
purchase price or value of property. For example, an $80,000 loan
on a $100,000 property equals an 80% LTV.
You can also think of LTV as the inverse of your down payment. If
you put 10% down, your LTV will be 90%. The LTV may be slightly
higher if costs such as upfront mortgage insurance or other funding
fees are added to the loan amount.
