$100,000 mortgage would cost the borrower $1,500). Generally, by paying more
points at closing, the borrower reduces the interest rate of his loan and thus
future monthly payments.
Origination Points = A fee imposed by a lender to cover certain processing
expenses in connection with making a real estate loan. Usually a percentage of
the amount loaned, such as one percent.
