HomePath Mortgage Loan: Maximum LTV (Loan To Value)

April 27, 2009

Many people seem to be interested in the Fannie Mae HomePath mortgage program, and one of the most popular questions people have is “how much do I have to have as a down payment?”

In mortgage-speak, how much money you put down when you buy a property is how you calculate what is called a loan-to-value ratio or also commonly referred to as LTV.

As an example, if the sales price of your new home is $100,000 and you put $5,000 down, the loan to value would be 95%.

With the HomePath mortgage loan program, the maximum loan to value allowed by the program depends on what kind of property it is (single family homes have different LTV restrictions than 4 plex’s for example).  Also maximum loan to value ratios are different if the property is going to be a primary residence, second home or investment property.

HomePath Mortgage Loan LTV Highlights:

Primary Residences

For a single family home that is going to be a primary residence the maximum LTV is 97% (note: this is 95% with some lenders) and require a 660 credit score.

For a fourplex that is going to be a primary residence, the maximum LTV is 75% and a minimum credit score of 580 is required.

HomePath Second Homes

For a second home that is a single family residence, the maximum LTV is 90% and a 660 credit score is required.

HomePath Investment Properties

For an investment property that is a single family residence, the maximum LTV is 90% and requires a 660 credit score.

As you can see – the amount of money that you are required to put down with the HomePath mortgage program can vary widely depending on the type of property you are purchasing and what your intended use is for it. There are many, many more scenarios that will impact your loan to value requirements (read: how much money you will need as a down payment) so be sure to speak with someone who is familiar with the HomePath mortgage program prior to putting a sales contract in!

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
