      Completing Title or Escrow Tables

      The following example shows the following configuration:

      • $5.75 for every thousand dollars for any loan amount up to $50,000.
      • $5.25 for every thousand dollars for any loan amount up to $100,000.
      • $5.00 for every thousand dollars for any loan amount up to $250,000.
      1. Open Point.
        • (For Title Tables) Utilities > Title Tables > Lender's Policy Purchase or Lender's Policy Refinance.
        • (For Escrow Tables) Utilities > Escrow Tables > Purchase or Refinance. From the Menu bar, select:
      2. Click Add...
      3. In the Table: field, enter the name of the Title or Escrow table.

      5. Click Add...
      6. Enter the first loan amount range in the Up to field.
      7. Enter the flat fee, if any, into the Base field. If there is not a base, enter0. (The Base is a flat fee charged by the title or escrow company for the loan amount range.)
      8. Enter the amount charged per thousand dollars in the Factor field. If there is not a factor, enter 0. (The factor is the amount charged for every thousand dollars, converted to a decimal by dividing the dollar amount by 1,000.) For example:

      • $6.00 for every thousand dollars would be converted to .006
      • $5.75 for every thousand dollars would be converted to .00575
      • $5.25 for every thousand dollars would be converted to .00525
