Negative points

Over 2200 Glossary Terms

Negative points

Negative points are used by a lender to rebate either a mortgage broker, or a mortgage borrower, for a mortgage that carries a higher-than-par interest rate. This rebate might be paid as a fee to the mortgage broker, or can be paid to the borrower to offset closing costs. No-cost mortgage loans use negative points; the borrower essentially trades a higher interest rate for lower upfront costs.
