"Loan to value" is a percentage determined by dividing the loan amount by the value of a home. It can play a role in determining the mortgage interest rate and whether or not the borrower qualifies for a loan.
Example 1 of LTV: If your home is appraised for $200,000 and your mortgage is $160,000, then your LTV is 80%.
Example 2 of LTV: If the property's purchase price is $180,000 and you provide a down payment of 5% or $9,000, your LTV is 95%.
