what does LTV stand for?

Hi Saltines,

LTV stands for Loan to Value which is the percentage relationship between the loan amount and the appraised value or sales price whichever is lower.

God bless you.

What is the difference between full doc and limited review? What parts are left out, and what is left in? Thank you.
Posted on: 07th Nov, 2011 07:36 am
Hi Kevizona,

Limited doc review refers to the fact that the documents provided by the borrower is not completely reviewed by the lender. Such type of mortgages were offered by the lenders before the sub-prime mortgage crisis hit the market. Such type of loans are not available these days. In today's market, you will get full doc loans only where the lender will review each and every information offered by you.

Thanks
