Your Equity at 100%LTV:

Getting 100% LTV

LTV Stands for: Loan-to-Value

Banks and other lenders extend credit based upon a percentage of the estimated market value of your home.

That percentage of market value minus the amount you owe on your first mortgage (plus any 2nd or 3rd mortgages that you may have) becomes the maximum amount of credit that lenders will give you.

 

For example:

Let's say that your new home purchase has an estimated market value of $150,000.

You placed 20% down at $30,000 and the lender finances $120,000 of your home mortgage. The maximum amount that you can borrow is calculated as follows:

 Estimated Market Value:  $150,000  $150,000  $150,000
Percentage LTV:  80%  90%  100%
Percentage of Market Value:  $120,000  $135,000  $150,000
 Less Mortgage Debt:  $120,000  $120,000  $120,000
 Equals Total Equity:  $0  $15,000  $30,000

 

Banks and other lenders generally charge a higher rate of interest for higher percentages of LTV.

Since most new home owners can't borrow at the 80%LTV level (most of their available equity is the down payment), they often view equity products at the 90%-100%LTV level.

They expect to pay a higher rate of interest, but the rate of interest is generally lower than credit card advances and other unsecured loans used for home improvement and other repairs for the home.
