00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,866
Loan-to-value compares the loan amount with the property value used

2
00:00:03,913 --> 00:00:04,807
by the lender.

3
00:00:05,248 --> 00:00:06,653
Start with our example:

4
00:00:06,978 --> 00:00:09,613
a two hundred forty thousand dollar loan and a three

5
00:00:09,671 --> 00:00:11,389
hundred thousand dollar value.

6
00:00:11,714 --> 00:00:13,340
Divide loan by value:

7
00:00:13,549 --> 00:00:17,230
two hundred forty thousand divided by three hundred thousand equals

8
00:00:17,288 --> 00:00:18,449
zero point eight.

9
00:00:18,832 --> 00:00:22,280
Multiply by one hundred to express it as eighty percent.

10
00:00:22,791 --> 00:00:26,134
The blue portion shows the loan relative to that value.

11
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:29,420
Use the value basis specified in the problem.

12
00:00:29,803 --> 00:00:33,019
In many purchase-loan settings the lender uses the lower of

13
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:34,540
price or appraisal.

14
00:00:34,865 --> 00:00:38,441
Mortgage insurance rules depend on the loan program, not the

15
00:00:38,499 --> 00:00:39,695
ratio alone.

16
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:40,774
Quick check:

17
00:00:41,099 --> 00:00:43,909
what is the loan-to-value ratio in this example?

18
00:00:46,292 --> 00:00:47,325
Eighty percent.
