80%. Anything less is due to a lender with an overlay (as stated prior). An overlay is a risk factor.
If the lender is saying max is 75%, perhaps you should check around. I know at least one lender that is 80% without issues.

Sounds like the lender you spoke to has an "overlay" which means they offer less than what Fannie or Freddie allow. Find another lender.

85% Primary
75% Second
75% Investment
Also depending on credit score. Shop it around, get a few quotes before making a decision.

The max LTV per Fannie Mae is 85% on a primary residence if you could find PMI. Expect 80% as a maximum assuming a one unit property. If 2 units or more or you are using an ARM and not a fixed rate product the limit is 75% for cash out. Good Luck




Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Guideline Quesiton
Assuming new loan amount will be 417,000
Is it 75 percent or 80 percent min LTV? I have a lender than is claiming that it is 75% on a primary residence???? I thought Freddie and Fannie guidelines were 80% for a primary and 75% for a investment property.
Please clarify so I can move forward thanks
