Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio

Summary

The Loan-to-Value ratio (LTV) is a financial term used to express the ratio of a loan to the value of an asset purchased.

Detailed Description

LTV is calculated by taking the amount of the loan and dividing it by the appraised value or purchase price of the asset, expressed as a percentage. It is frequently used in real estate transactions and lending, helping lenders assess risk associated with a mortgage or other types of secured lending. A higher LTV indicates higher risk as it means a borrower is borrowing more relative to the property value.
