Doug explains how points are calculated. Sometimes you can pay points to buy down your interest rate, but should you? 

Doug talks about how to determine how long it would take to "break even" by paying money up front to get a lower rate. He then talks about forecasts in the mortgage industry about whether rates will go down.
