Question about buying a house
DH and I are going to start looking into buying a house, but I hear a lot about points. What are these? I'm really confused about a lot of things that go into buying a house 
Re: Question about buying a house
I agree with Amber that it would be a really good idea to go talk to a lender to get an idea of how much you'd be approved for and then you can ask all your questions about purchasing points and such. Like Amber said, you can use cash to get a lower interest rate. And you can do calculations to determine what will be the best option for you (and the lender will do those as well).
If you need a recommendation, let me know--we saw a fantastic one for first-time homebuyers
John @ Equitable is great if you want his info again!
