That looks good for a construction to permanent loan.

Am I getting a good deal?
Hello,
My wife and I are building house and if we go with the builder's mortgage company we get 3 points (3% of the loan amount) as a bonus reward to use to either buy down the rate or pay towards closing. Here are some figures from the GFE I received from the mortgage company. This is for a 30 yr fixed conventional w/ 5% down and a upfront payment of PMI. My credit score is between 700-720. The total loan amount is $192,660;
Total Estimate charges: $9,766 (includes PMI upfront fee of $3,949 and ALL other fees in regards to ins. premium, taxes, closing fees, etc)
Paid by Lender: $5,779
Paid by borrower: $3,987
Cash required at closing: $9,127 (includes 5% down payment + closing costs)
Interest Rate: 4.99%
Monthly payment: 1,034 (principal) + 56 (Haz. Ins.) + 169 (Real Estate Tax) = $1,259.21
I just would like to know from some other mortgage professionals if this is a good deal or not.
Thanks!
