Smart decisions, sound financial futures.
Sarah and Tom were offered two mortgage options: a 6.5% interest rate with no points or a 6.25% interest rate with two points, costing $7,500 upfront. They were unsure if the lower rate justified the immediate expense, especially with their existing $45,000 in student loan debt and desire to start a family soon.
Using Golden Door Asset's Mortgage Points Calculator, we determined the break-even point for the mortgage points. The calculator revealed it would take approximately 8 years to recoup the $7,500 investment in points through lower monthly payments. Given their plans to potentially move within 7 years, purchasing points was not the optimal choice.
The Mortgage Points Calculator allowed for easy input of loan amount, interest rates, points cost, and loan term to quickly determine the break-even point. This output was then used to assess the client's specific timeline and financial goals.
$7,500 immediate savings by avoiding unnecessary mortgage points. Also, peace of mind knowing they made the best financial decision.
