What is the difference between the Annual Percentage Rate APR and the interest rate?
The rate reflected on the APR shows the cost of the credit as a yearly rate. This rate is generally higher than the
rate stated on your mortgage note because, in addition to the interest rate, APR includes other costs such as
origination fee, loan discount points, pre-paid interest, and mortgage insurance. The APR allows you to compare, in
addition to the interest rate, the total cost of financing your loan, between various lenders.
Are discount points tax deductible?
In many cases they are. Contact your tax preparer or the IRS to obtain a qualified opinion and the best expert
advice.

Lenders carefully scrutinize your qualifications in order to ascertain how much the maximum amount of money you could afford to pay them every month. They do so by plugging your information into certain formulas that give fairly accurate predictions. Should these predictions prove that you can afford to pay the monthly dues that will be stipulated by the loan, you are most likely to be granted the mortgage loan.
