Frequently asked questions
- What LTV do lenders prefer?
- Most conventional lenders prefer LTV of 80% or lower (20%+ equity). Above 80% typically requires PMI. Above 97% LTV limits your loan options. For refinancing, 80% LTV or below gives the best rates.
- How does LTV affect mortgage rates?
- Lower LTV means lower risk for the lender, which typically translates to a lower interest rate. Each 5% improvement in LTV can reduce your rate by 0.125–0.25%, depending on the lender and market conditions.
