Loan-to-value refers to the amount of a mortgage loan in comparison to the value of the property that has been mortgaged.
For example, if the property value is $500,000 and a down payment of $50,000 is made, the loan-to-value ratio is 90%.
This figure determines what kind of mortgage you can get and whether that mortgage will require default insurance.
