Is it worth buying a point to lower mortgage rate?

[Joseph Kirk]

I have a few investment properties, but i am soon to be closing on my primary home to live in. Is it worth buying down your mortgage rate? I believe I was told for $3100 my mortgage rate will go from 6.90% to 6.60%. I'd be breaking even on that $3100 in almost 6 years. I also hear they may be cutting rates soon (but been hearing this for a while now and nothing). Putting the $3100 down will not affect me financially, I just dont think it will be worth it.

Any thoughts and personal opinions are greatly appreciated!

We do not recommend to any of our clients to pay points right now as the industry as a whole is anticipating rate cuts within the next 12-18 months.
