Loan origination cost help
New investor here and could use some help.
Looking at a 155k duplex in NJ. Investment loan with 25% down, have great credit, no debt, good income and assets.
I've been quoted a mortgage with a rate 3.25 but origination cost of around 4.8k which seems very high. Other fees seem OK. When I asked, I was told that lenders charge more for investment mortgages. So far I checked another option via an online platform which had a higher rate of around 4.25% but lower closing costs.
Does this seem right or too high? Do you get worse terms on an investment loan?
Would appreciate any suggestions!

@Leonid Lednev Does that include taxes and insurance escrowed in? Ask to see a break down of whats being charged, you may be getting a rate buy down, and may be worth it.
