Should You Pay Points on Real Estate Mortgage Loans?

In real estate lingo, a point is one percentage point of the overall loan that is paid up front, typically at the time of closing. For example, if you are borrowing $150,000 on a mortgage loan and will be paying three points, you will pay $4,500 up front. Paying points generally lowers the interest rate on your loan.

When determining whether you want pay for points, think about how long you expect to live in the house. Over a short time frame — less than five years or so — paying points usually doesn’t makes sense, as you will pay more in points than you will save in interest. However, if you plan to stay in the house for 10 or 20 years or longer, points will pay off over time. Although the prospect of paying a few thousand dollars more initially isn’t very attractive, you may be able to save money over the duration of the mortgage.

Another advantage of paying for points on a residential mortgage is that you can deduct the money you pay on that year’s income tax return. In some areas, it’s customary for sellers to pay your points at closing. As the buyer, you can still deduct the points payment from your taxes, as long as they meet IRS guidelines.

This applies only to new mortgage loans, however. If you are buying points to refinance your home, the IRS considers this prepaid interest. That means you will have to deduct them over the life of the loan rather than all at once at closing. Check with your accountant or tax advisor for his or her professional opinion on deducting points.

Don’t confuse the aforementioned kinds of points with origination points (also known as “origination fees”). Origination points won’t lower your interest rate, and are called origination “fees” for a reason: you pay them for work your lender does on your behalf. Not all lenders charge origination fees; if your lender does, you may be able to negotiate them down or out of your load entirely.

When shopping for a mortgage, factor in your loan with points and see when you will break even. If you see that by paying $2,000 for two points you will break even in 7 years, and you plan to stay in the house for at least 15 to 20 years, you will come out ahead.

You can finance points, which allows you to pay them off as part of the loan. But this increases the cost of your points, and it will take longer to break even. If you can, pay for the points in full at closing.

Real Estate Home Seller Finance

Real Estate Home seller financing is when a seller helps to finance a real estate transaction by taking back a second note or even financing the entire purchase if the seller owns the home free and clear. Usually sellers do this when a buyer has difficulty qualifying for a conventional loan or meeting the purchase price.

Home seller financing differs from a traditional loan because the seller does not give the buyer cash to complete the purchase, as does a lender. Instead, it involves extending a credit against the purchase price of the home while the buyer executes a promissory note and trust deed in the seller's favor. These special circumstances must be acceptable to the lender who makes the first mortgage on the property.

The necessary paperwork is prepared by the title or escrow company after the terms are worked out between the buyer and seller.

If you are a seller considering such an arrangement, it is critical to thoroughly evaluate the creditworthiness of the buyer first. Fear of default makes many sellers reluctant to take back a second. But seller financing can bring a higher price plus complete the sale sooner in some situations.

Avoid Real Estate the 7 Biggest Mistakes.......(2)

Beware of "APR" Advertising

"APR" stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Some mortgage brokers use
"APR" teaser rates to get your attention, however, they may actually
end up costing you more. Such rates are often derived by using a 30
year mortgage coupled with an accelerated payment plan. Most lenders
allow you to select such a plan, if you choose. Know your actual
interest rate that you will be paying when comparing mortgages.

Should I Consider an Adjustable Rate?

Adjustable rate mortgages or "ARM's," can be very helpful in assisting
people into the housing market. They can help minimize your monthly
payment, however, in the long run they can cost you more money if
additional refinancing occurs.

Beware of the Quality of Service Provided

You want your refinance to be accomplished with as little hassle and
in the shortest period of time. Ask your mortgage broker details of
their service plan and performance guarantees.

Not All Mortgage Brokers are Created Equally

Be sure to ask your mortgage broker about all their available loan
products, terms and rates. A subtle difference can save or cost you
thousands.
