Example: Determining the Maximum Loan Amount EXAMPLE: purchase of a 1-unit property with 96.5% LTV/CLTV Purchase and Renovation Costs Sales Price $ 164,000 Labor/Material $ 27,000 Soft Costs $ 790 Contingency (utilities functioning 20% required) $ 5,400 Monthly PITI (Not required to vacate property during renovations) $ 0 Total for Purchase and Renovation $ 197,190 As-completed value (determined by appraiser) $ 200,000 Value to use for determination of LTV must be the lesser of the total cost of renovation or the as-completed value. In this example, $197,190. is less than $200,000, therefore the value you must use when determining the maximum loan amount is $197,190.00190 00 Maximum Loan Amount at 96.5% $ 190,288.00
