A point is a percentage of the loan amount, or 1-point = 1% of the loan, so one point on a $100,000 loan is $1,000. Points are costs that need to be paid to a lender to get mortgage financing under specified terms. Discount points are fees used to lower the interest rate on a mortgage loan by paying some of this interest up-front. Lenders may refer to costs in terms of basic points in hundredths of a percent, 100 basis points = 1 point, or 1% of the loan amount.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Should I pay points to lower my interest rate?” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_toggle_title=”background-color: #2A2A6A” custom_css_toggle_icon=”padding-right: 10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Yes, if you plan to stay in the property for a least a few years. Paying discount points to lower the loan’s interest rate is a good way to lower your required monthly loan payment, and possibly increase the loan amount that you can afford to borrow.

You can have an attorney represent you if you can’t attend the closing meeting, i.e., if you\u2019re out-of-state. Closing can take anywhere from 1-hour to several depending on contingency clauses in the purchase offer, or any escrow accounts needing to be set up.<\/p>\n Most paperwork in closing or settlement is done by attorneys and real estate professionals. You may or may not be involved in some of the closing activities; it depends on who you are working with.<\/p>\n Prior to closing you should have a final inspection, or “walk-through” to insure requested repairs were performed, and items agreed to remain with the house are there such as drapes, lighting fixtures, etc.<\/p>\n In most states the settlement is completed by a title or escrow firm in which you forward all materials and information plus the appropriate cashier’s checks so the firm can make the necessary disbursement. Your representative will deliver the check to the seller, and then give the keys to you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is an APR?” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_toggle_title=”background-color: #2A2A6A” custom_css_toggle_icon=”padding-right: 10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The annual percentage rate (APR) is an interest rate reflecting the cost of a mortgage as a yearly rate. This rate is likely to be higher than the stated note rate or advertised rate on the mortgage, because it takes into account points and other credit costs. The APR allows homebuyers to compare different types of mortgages based on the annual cost for each loan. The APR is designed to measure the “true cost of a loan.” It creates a level playing field for lenders. It prevents lenders from advertising a low rate and hiding fees.<\/p>\n The APR does not affect your monthly payments. Your monthly payments are strictly a function of the interest rate and the length of the loan.<\/p>\n Because APR calculations are effected by the various different fees charged by lenders, a loan with a lower APR is not necessarily a better rate. The best way to compare loans is to ask lenders to provide you with a good-faith estimate of their costs on the same type of program (e.g. 30-year fixed) at the same interest rate. You can then delete the fees that are independent of the loan such as homeowners insurance, title fees, escrow fees, attorney fees, etc. Now add up all the loan fees. The lender that has lower loan fees has a cheaper loan than the lender with higher loan fees.<\/p>\n The following fees are generally included in the APR:<\/p>\n The following fees are normally not included in the APR:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What can I do to improve my credit score?” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_toggle_title=”background-color: #2A2A6A” custom_css_toggle_icon=”padding-right: 10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Credit scoring models are complex and often vary among creditors and for different types of credit. If one factor changes, your score may change — but improvement generally depends on how that factor relates to other factors considered by the model. Only the creditor can explain what might improve your score under the particular model used to evaluate your credit application.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, scoring models generally evaluate the following types of information in your credit report:<\/p>\n Scoring models may be based on more than just information in your credit report. For example, the model may consider information from your credit application as well: your job or occupation, length of employment, or whether you own a home.<\/p>\n To improve your credit score under most models, concentrate on paying your bills on time, paying down outstanding balances, and not taking on new debt. It’s likely to take some time to improve your score significantly.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is 80-10-10 financing?” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_toggle_title=”background-color: #2A2A6A” custom_css_toggle_icon=”padding-right: 10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Surprising as it may seem, some folks with hefty incomes find that it\u2019s mighty tough for them to save enough money to make a 20% cash down payment on their dream homes. Using conventional financing, such buyers must purchase Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) which increases the cost of home ownership and, ironically, makes it even more difficult to qualify for the mortgage. However, if you\u2019re a dues-paying member of the cash-challenged class, don\u2019t despair. Given that your income is sufficiently high, it\u2019s eminently possible to avoid getting stuck with PMI. That is why 80-10-10 financing was invented. It is called 80-10-10 because a savings and loan association, bank, or other institutional lender provides a traditional 80% first mortgage, you get a 10% second mortgage, and make a cash down payment equal to 10% of the home\u2019s purchase price. By using this method, you are no longer obligated to take out PMI on your property.<\/p>\n The same principle applies if you can only afford to make a 5% down, 80-15-5 financing is also available. However, because a smaller cash down payment increases the lender\u2019s risk of default, do not be surprised when you are asked to pay higher loan fees and a higher mortgage interest rate for 80-15-5 than you pay for 80-10-10.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is an appraisal?” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_text_color=”#000000″ custom_css_toggle_title=”background-color: #2A2A6A” custom_css_toggle_icon=”padding-right: 10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An Appraisal is an estimate of a property’s fair market value.

Information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts, is collected from your credit application and your credit report. Using a statistical program, creditors compare this information to the credit performance of consumers with similar profiles. A credit scoring system awards points for each factor that helps predict who is most likely to repay a debt. A total number of points — a credit score — helps predict how creditworthy you are, that is, how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make the payments when due.<\/p>\n The most widely use credit scores are FICO scores, which were developed by Fair Isaac Company, Inc. Your score will fall between 350 (high risk) and 850 (low risk).<\/p>\n Because your credit report is an important part of many credit scoring systems, it is very important to make sure it’s accurate before you submit a credit application. To get copies of your report, contact the three major credit reporting agencies:<\/p>\n Equifax: (800) 685-1111 You are entitled to receive one free credit report every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies \u2013 Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
