Q: WHAT IS A DISCOUNT POINT?
A discount point is 1% of the loan amount. For instance, a 1% discount point on a $100,000 loan amount would be $1,000.
Q: WHAT IS AN APR?
APR stands for “Annual Percentage Rate” and is considered the cost of credit. An easy way to think of this is the annualized cost of all loan fees on top of the interest rate. This is why you see some companies with the same rate but different APR’s.
Q: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FLOAT THE INTEREST RATE?
Instead of locking an interest rate, which assumes securing an interest rate for a fixed period of time, some customers opt to float their rate. This means they are subject to market conditions until they decide to secure the interest rate. A benefit to this is if the market continues to improve the customer can benefit from those rate improvements.

For example, we offer an 80-10-10 loan (also called a Piggyback Loan), which enables you to purchase a home with a 10% down payment. The main benefits of this approach are to avoid paying mortgage insurance and to quality for a conventional loan which generally has a lower rate than a Jumbo mortgage.

Q: DO I NEED TITLE INSURANCE?
In refinance transactions, all lenders will require the use Lenders Title Insurance. This insures the lender against any past claims against the chain of title that might affect ownership moving forward. In purchase transactions, there are two forms of insurance, Lenders and Owners. While lenders protects the lender for an predated title issue, the owner’s policy protects the owner. In purchase transactions, lenders title insurance is still required but owner’s is not.
