Question: What are "closing costs?"

Answer: Some of the standard costs involved are: attorney fees, points on your mortgage, adjustments on prepaid taxes, fuel and water, appraisal fees and title insurance. Your bank and your attorney will give you a complete breakdown of any charges that you will be responsible for.


Question: What are "points" on a mortgage?

Answer: Each point represents 1% of the mortgage amount. Example, if you were taking a loan for $100,000,
1 point would equal $1,000. There are numerous mortgage programs. Some have points up front, others do not.
