Mortgage Fees Fannie Mae charges a loan-level price adjustment (LLPA) on all mortgages, which represents a fee homebuyers seeking a loan must pay. The rate paid depends on the credit score of the borrower, the amount borrowed, and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. The LTV ratio is the ratio of amount borrowed to appraised value of the home. For example, a homebuyer who wishes to borrow $250,000 with a credit score of 730 and an LTV ratio of 80% will pay 0.5% (0.005) of $250,000, or $1250. The table shows the LLPA for various credit scores and an LTV ratio of 80%.
