What is LTV (Loan-to-Value)?

LTV shows how much of the property is financed with a loan.

Answer

LTV shows how much of the property is financed with a loan.

Formula: LTV = Loan Amount ÷ Property Value

Example: Loan amount = $160,000 Property value = $200,000 LTV = 80%

Why this matters: Higher LTV means more leverage, which can improve returns but also increases risk.
