If you are a first-time homebuyer, here are some banking terms. You should become familiar with interest rates. The interest rate is the amount. A lender charges a borrower to obtain a loan, usually expressed as a percentage of the total amount of the loan.
Interest rates are typically quoted on an annual basis, known as the annual percentage rate, or APR discount points. Discount points are used to buy down the interest rate either temporarily or permanently, origination fees. The lender will process the loan and will charge the borrower the origination fee on a mortgage.

The loan origination fees are paid by the borrower when the loan is funded and are usually based on a flat percentage of the loan amount and loan term. The loan term is the length of time. The borrower will take some time to repay the loan, like 15 or 30 years, usually made on a monthly basis. Should you have any questions, ask your realtor or lender.
