Here are my Super Bowl Sunday selections for the best deals on home loans in the Minneapolis area.

As always, I'm looking for the most favorable combination of low mortgage rates and reasonable fees.

These offers require you to pay no points and loan origination fees of less than $2,000 -- exactly what anyone trying to buy or refinance a home should be looking for to control their up-front costs and keep monthly payments low.

Compare my picks with the best mortgage rates from other banks and finance companies in our database.

Your article says "control their up-front costs and keep monthly payments low." This doesn't make sense because buyers have the option of reducing their interest rate, which directly reduces the monthly payment, by paying interest up front. So, you can reduce your payment by paying more up front and obtaining a lower interest rate. I would only recommend that to a client who intends to stay in their home long term, however.
