Hello is points the same as down payment?

No.  A down payment, or earnest money that goes towards paying for the house.  Points are prepaid interest, paid to the mortgage company in order to reduce your interest rate.  A down payment is not deductible.  Points may be deductible as mortgage interest if they qualify.  For more information, see:
