The explanation above was a great one on the break downs of the elements of closing, what they are, and what is being charged.To address the 3.75% APR Directly, you may be charged points in that rate to obtain the pricing shown its important to talk with a lender who is experienced not only in the "quoting of rates," to say at the min but also how the rate will effect your short and long terms goals financially as well.Some people say its good to pay points, and depending the borrower's particular circumstances it may be great, but if you're opportunity cost of your money is higher than the rate you're saving by paying points its probably better to take a rate that has 0 points even if its .125% -.25% higher in rate so that you can redeploy that capital at your strike rate of return whatever that may be for you personally 8, 10, 12, 15, + etc return per year.I have a good article on APR on my member blog you can check out if you want additional information on APR.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.
