LTV… sounds fancy. It’s not.
It literally just means: how much you’re borrowing compared to what the home is worth.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Quick example:
You buy a $400,000 home and put 10% down
You’re borrowing 90%
Boom. Your LTV is 90%
Lower LTV = more skin in the game
Higher LTV = smaller down payment
And yes… LTV plays a big role in your rate, mortgage insurance, and overall loan options.
Same goes for refinancing too. The more equity you have, the better your position usually is.
So when a lender starts throwing around “LTV” in conversation, now you can casually nod like… yeah, I know what that means 😏
Want to know what YOUR LTV would look like and how it impacts your numbers? Let’s break it down.
