"Hi so you are wondering how to calculate your ltv on your loan. Which is also known as the loan to value. No problem I'll be able to answer that. My name is Adriel Torres and I'm the owner of ultimate credit today dot com. Loan to value basically refers to the value of the property or the purchase price and the remaining loan balance. So lets say you have a property that you have a note for eighty thousand and it was purchased for a hundred thousand so your loan to value is eighty percent. Eighty percent of the one hundred thousand dollars. And that's the loan to value. In order to calculate that you would take basically the balance which is eighty divided by a hundred and that would give you twenty so you have twenty percent of equity in the property and an eighty percent loan to value. Again that's how you calculate it. My name is Adriel Torres and I'm the owner of ultimate credit today dot com. Thank you very much."
