Question

A property sells for $120,000. the mortgage is $90,000 and the lender charges 3 points on the loan. how much is paid for the discount points?

Answer 1

The amount paid for the discount points is $2,700

What do 3 points on the loan mean?

The 3 points mean that the borrower needs to pay 3% of the loan amount in order to enjoy a lower interest on the mortgage loan, in other words, the amount paid for the discount points is 3% of the loan amount of $90,000

amount paid for the discount=points*loan amount

loan amount=$90,000(not $120,000 which is the property purchase price)

amount paid for the discount=3%*$90,000

amount paid for the discount=$2,700
