Suppose that you are considering a loan in which you will borrow $245,000 using a 30-year loan. The loan has an annual interest rate of 6% with monthly payments and monthly compounding. Suppose also that the lender is charging you a 0.75% origination fee, you are paying 2.25 points in order to get the 6% interest rate, and the loan has $1,275 in third-party closing costs associated with it.
