Fees and costs imposed on the loan in order to get the lower rate, apparently especially if you don’t have stellar credit or you’re financing the usual amount (80%). These very low rates seem to work best for those with exceptional credit who are financing maybe 50% to 60% of the property’s value, and even then there are up front costs larger than you’d typically see.
