Frequently Asked Questions

How can I lower my LTV without paying extra principal? +

Home price appreciation or substantial renovations can increase your home's appraised fair market value, thereby driving down your LTV ratio and allowing you to petition for early PMI removal via a new appraisal.

What is the difference between LTV and CLTV? +

LTV measures only the primary first mortgage. Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) includes all liens secured by the property, including second mortgages and HELOCs.
