100% Prepaid Interest

David F.

Is anyone aware of any lenders who might consider allowing the borrower to prepay the entirety of the mortgage interest in the form of discount points?  Each point costs 1% of the borrow amount and reduces the interest rate 0.25%.  So assuming a 4% rate without points, this would be 16 points.  A one-time prepayment of 16% and the remainder of payments principal only over 30 years.  

I'm aware that agency loans are limited to 3 points, and I'm aware that any interest paid by way of discount points beyond that 3% has to be deducted from taxes over the life of the loan.  I would like to leverage another property I own outright for the down payment.  The results would look like this:

Property Value: $1,000,000/Prepaid interest $160,000 due at closing/ Mortgage Payment $2777/mo. ($1,000,000/360)

These are just arbitrary numbers, I would consider different terms but I just would like to know if something like this is possible.  Thanks in advance.
