I'll use an example with similar numbers because I want to truly understand the reasoning here:On the high end, the interest rate would sit around 5.75%, at the cost of -.125 points (ultimately resulting in a lender credit of $164) and a P&I of $766 per month ... on the low end, the interest rate would be 5.375% at the cost of 1 point (around $1300) with P&I of $735 per month.Given that info, this is to say that if I planned on holding onto this property more than 42 months (that's $766-$735= $31 per month... then $1300/$31=41.94 months), then it would make financial sense to pay down the percentage rate up front at 1 point because beyond 42 months, I'd be saving money every month...
