Question

A lender offers an investor a maximum 85% LTV loan on the appraised value of a property. If the investor pays $160,000 for the property how much will the investor have to pay as a down payment

Answer 1

the amount that have to pay as a down payment is $24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the down payment is as follows;

Loan = LTV ratio × price

And, the down payment is

= Price - loan

So, the loan is

= 85% × $160,000

= $136,000

Now the down payment is

= $160,000 - $136,000

= $24,000

Hence, the amount that have to pay as a down payment is $24,000
