Question On A 100% LTV

I Got approved for a 100% LTV . With 0 down and no upfront cost .Now If I buy a house below appraisal , will they still loan 100% of the value and let me get cash for the equity and do some small updates? and if so how would I do it ? Thru the contract with the seller or how?

    Greetings edauto,

    Typically, lenders base the LTV or CLTV on the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price. So, if you found a house below appraised value, they would only lend on your actual purchase price.

    However, many will allow a credit from the seller to you for 2%-6%. But usually, it can only be applied to non-recurring closing costs.

    You should check with the lender that approved you to see if they would allow a seller credit, and if it could possibly be applied toward anything else.
