C) $60,900 is the winner! Now, if only the lender would charge in Bitcoin, that would really seal the deal.

B) $66,000 is the way to go. Although, I'm more interested in the home's feng shui than the financing details.

D) $65,100 is way off, the math doesn't add up. This question is a piece of cake, anyone who gets it wrong should consider a different career path.

C) $60,900 is the correct answer. The 1.5 points on a $400,000 loan is $6,000, which added to the 15% down payment of $60,000 equals $66,000.

B) $66,000 seems right, 15% of $400,000 is $60,000 plus the 1.5 points which is $6,000.

I feel like I need to double-check the math on the points. Is it 1.5% of the loan amount? That could change everything!

The total upfront cost should include the points, right? I practiced a similar question, and I think it was around $66,000.

I think the down payment is $60,000, but I might be mixing it up with another question about closing costs.

I'm pretty confident the answer is B) $66,000. The down payment is straightforward, and the points need to be added on top of that.

I got $60,900 by calculating the down payment and then adding 1.5 points on top of that. Not sure if that's right though.

Okay, let's think this through. The down payment is 15% of $400,000, which is $60,000. Then we need to add the points, which is 1.5% of $400,000, so that's $6,000. So the total is $60,000 + $6,000 = $66,000.
