USAA mortgage rates refinance

When choosing a mortgage lender, make sure you consider and understand what the loan will cost in interest and in fees. As a borrower you should always consider lender fees VS mortgage rates. Sometimes paying upfront fees can lower your mortgage interest rate and save you money in the longer term. However, paying large fees in points, may not make sense when calculating the breakeven point. Always ask the Lender about the breakeven point and compare that with how long you anticipate being in the house.
