• Points: Discount points are a form of prepaid interest that allows borrowers to lower their mortgage interest rate by paying an upfront fee at closing. This helps reduce monthly payments over the loan’s term. • Credits: Lender credits are offered in exchange for a slightly higher interest rate and can be used to offset some or all of your closing costs. This option is ideal for reducing out-of-pocket expenses at closing. • Origination Fees: An origination fee is a one-time cost charged by the lender for processing your loan application. It is typically a percentage of the total loan amount and is paid at closing.
