Discount Points (for a Mortgage)

This video explains what discount points are for a mortgage. It discusses how discount points are essentially prepaid interest that gets the lender to reduce the interest rate. A comprehensive example is provided to demonstrate how discount points are calculated, and a formula is presented to show how the break-even point can be computed in determining how long the homeowner would need to own the home before the cost paid in discount points would be recovered.
