Loan-to-Value (LTV)
The ratio of a loan to the value of the asset securing it, expressed as a percentage.
What does loan-to-value mean?
LTV is the loan amount divided by the property’s value. A lower LTV means more equity and less risk for the lender, often unlocking better rates. On a mortgage, an LTV above 80% usually triggers PMI.
