What is the difference between a zero point and a no cost mortgage?

0

With a zero point mortgage, a borrower has opted not to pay points to buy their interest rate down but will still be paying for their base closing costs (i.e. appraisal, credit report, lender doc fees, title and escrow, etc.). With a no cost mortgage, a borrower has accepted a higher interest rate, (typically .25%- 375% higher than on a zero point mortgage) with the trade off that the lender or broker will pay for all their non-recurring closing costs (all base closing fees except for interest, taxes and insurance due).
