Help When You Need It

Home buying? If, so, here's something about a home loan that you may have been to shy to ask.

Often the price of a home mortgage loan is stated in terms of an interest rate, points, and other fees. A "point" is a fee that equals 1 percent of the loan amount. Points are usually paid to the lender, mortgage broker, or both, at the settlement or upon the completion of the escrow. Often, you can pay fewer points in exchange for a higher interest rate or more points for a lower rate. Ask your lender or mortgage broker about points and other fees.
