Mortgage Terms Defined:Points
are fees paid to the lender for the loan. One point equals 1 percent of the
loan amount. Points are usually paid in cash at closing. In some cases, the
money needed to pay points can be borrowed, but doing so will increase the loan
amount and the total costs.
Smart Borrower: Down Payments and Private Mortgage
Insurance
Some lenders require 20 percent of the home's purchase price
as a down payment. However, many lenders now offer loans that require less than
20 percent downsometimes as little as 5 percent on conventional
loans. If a 20 percent down payment is not made, lenders usually require
the home buyer to purchase private
mortgage insurance (PMI) to protect the lender in case the home buyer fails
to pay. When government-assisted programs such as FHA (Federal Housing Administration),
VA (Veterans Administration), or Rural Development Services are available, the
down payment requirements may be substantially smaller.
Ask about the lender's requirements for a down payment,
including what you need to do to verify that funds for your down payment are
available.
Ask your lender about special programs it may offer.
If PMI is required for your loan,
Ask what the total cost of the insurance will be.
Ask how much your monthly payment will be when including
the PMI premium.

loans, usually offer a lower initial interest rate than fixed-rate loans. The
interest rate fluctuates over the life of the loan based on market conditions,
but the loan agreement generally sets maximum and minimum rates. When interest
rates rise, generally so do your loan payments; and when interest rates fall,
your monthly payments may be lowered
