QWhy Is The Apr Higher Than The Rate Shown On My Mortgage Note?
AThe APR rate reflects the cost of your mortgage loan as a yearly rate. This rate is generally higher than the rate stated on your mortgage note because the APR includes other costs, such as origination fee, loan discount points, and pre-paid interest. The APR allows you to compare, in addition to the interest rate, the total cost of financing your loan, among various lenders.
