Introduction This topic contains information on LTV ratios, including: Calculation of the LTV Ratio Sales Price and Appraised Value Used by DU Loan-Level Price Adjustments Calculation of the LTV Ratio The maximum allowable LTV ratio for a first mortgage is based on a number of factors including, the representative credit score, the type of mortgage product, the number of dwelling units, and the occupancy status of the property. The following table describes the requirements for calculating LTV ratios for a first mortgage transaction. The result of these calculations must be truncated (shortened) to two decimal places, then rounded up to the nearest whole percent. For example: 94.01% will be delivered as 95%, and 80.001% will be delivered as 80%. The rounding rules noted above also apply to the CLTV and HCLTV ratio calculations. Lenders' systems must contain rounding methodology that results in the same or a higher LTV ratio. Underwriting Method Type of Transaction Calculation of the LTV Ratio 1 Manual and DU Purchase money transactions Divide the original loan amount by the property value. (The property value is the lower of the sales price or the current appraised value.) Manual and DU Refinance transactions Divide the original loan amount by the property value.

Provision of Mortgage Insurance. Refer to the Eligibility Matrix for maximum allowable LTV ratios. Sales Price and Appraised Value Used by DU DU uses information in the loan application to determine the sales price and appraised value it uses to calculate the LTV, CLTV, and HCLTV ratios. DU uses the amounts entered in the following data fields in the online loan application: Sales price = Line A + Line B + Line C (in Section L4) Line A = Sales Contract Price (the sales price for purchase transactions, or the cost of construction for construction transactions). Line B = Improvements, Renovations, and Repairs (the cost of these items for HomeStyle Renovation transactions). Line C = Land Value (For certain construction or manufactured home transactions the cost or value of the land if the borrower acquired the lot separately). Appraised value = Appraised Property Value (in Section 4a) Note: If the Appraised Property Value is not present, DU will use the Estimated Property Value. The Appraised Property Value must be entered (when available) and the loan casefile must be resubmitted.

Operationalizing Fannie Mae Single Family Selling Guide B2-1.2-01, Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios (06/01/2022)
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
