Discount points

Discount points are fees a borrower pays toward a mortgage to lower the loan's interest rate. One point equals 1% of the total loan amount. If a borrower plans to stay in a house beyond ten years, paying a few thousand dollars in points at closing to lower the interest rate will pay off. In addition, discount points are tax deductible.
