roints paid during the closing on an FHA or VA loan is the charge by lending institutions for making a loan at an interest rate below the going rate for other loans. Since the FHA or VA loan bears an interest rate below that charged for conventional loans - and because the borrower need not make a substantial down payment - the lender charges the seller an amount that would make the loan more competitive.

A point is figured at one percent of the loan amount. The number of points charged depend on the difference between the

I government-insured loan rate and the prevailing market rate.
