What are points or discount points in the mortgage process?
When you start researching mortgages, you'll come across terms like points, discount points, or buying down the rate. They all mean the same thing: lowering your interest rate by paying extra money at closing.
For example, if today's free interest rate is 7.5%, you can pay a few thousand dollars at closing to reduce it to 7.25%. This one-time fee is part of your closing costs. Remember, it's crucial to compare not just the interest rate but also the points when reviewing loan estimates from lenders. This ensures you're comparing apples to apples.

Can I suggest growing your UA-cam channel?
Your content is very amazing. But your UA-cam videos are not SEO-optimized. You have not set up an SEO-friendly title, description, and video-related keywords in your video keyword section area. If you permit me, I will share some information & solutions to increase the channel. You get lots of subscribers and views. Best regards Thank you
