They are not completely necessary. &nbsp;Knowledge is power. &nbsp;Commission is fair and believe me it is hard work. &nbsp;Loan officers have to jump thru hoops. &nbsp;Especially of they are good and know when to lock your loan and what product to put you in. &nbsp;Its worth it to pay that point. &nbsp;Whats not worth it is to be lied to, put into a bad loan, one you cant qualify for. &nbsp;Etc.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br \><br \>7 replies Thu, 30 Apr 2009 06:16:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/whant-to-learn-about-mortgage-points-and-junk-fees-Loan-Modiifications/229528/ 2009-04-30T06:16:00Z I flagged my house as SOLD.
