Rates
/ points combinations
-
When you pay "points," you pay interest in a lump
sum upfront to get a lower rate on your fixed rate mortgage. Each point
costs 1% of the mortgage amount. The more points you pay, the lower your
mortgage rate. So, which is the best for you? More points and a lower rate?
Or fewer points and higher rate? To decide, you need to consider: (1)
Whether you can afford to make the upfront payment now for points. (2) The
length of time expect to have the mortgage. The longer you plan to have your
mortgage, the more it makes sense to pay for points now because you'll have
a long time to benefit from the lower rate. Answer the questions below and
we'll advise you on what's best for you.

For some people, buying their home
makes the most sense, and for others, renting is best. To determine which is
right for you, you first need to determine whether you can afford to buy.
Then you need to consider other factors, including the time you'll stay in
your new home, the home's prospects for appreciation and taxes. Just answer
the following questions and we'll advise you on what seems best for you.
