Mortgage FAQs
What is a Loan To Value Ratio (LTV)?
A ratio determined by dividing the sales price or appraised value into the loan amount, expressed as a percentage.
For example, with a sales price of $100,000 and a mortgage loan of $80,000, your loan to value ratio would be 80%.
Loans with an LTV over 80% may require Private Mortgage Insurance.
