One of the least understood elements of a No Closing Cost Mortgage is the correlation between the size of the loan and the interest rate. In general, the lower the loan size the higher the interest rate that will be charged to facilitate paying the closing cost. Let’s take an example to illustrate the point. You have a loan amount of $100,000. The closing costs are $2,200 or 2.2 %. So the interest rate charged would need to yield 2.2 discount points. Now let’s go to the other extreme. You have a loan amount of $325,000. The closing costs are $3,300 or 1.01 discount points. So the interest rate charged would need to yield 1.0 discount points. We would need nearly 2.5 times more yield on the smaller $100,000. loan.
It is generally not practical to consider a no cost mortgage when you loan amount falls below $175,000. We have provided sample charts for loan size ranges from $175,000 to $400,000 that provide estimated breakeven points and interest rate differentials. If your loan amount exceeds $400,000 this will work even better.
