A LOAN ESTIMATE happens when you apply for a loan, but it’s a long road before that loan funds. A CLOSING DISCLOSURE tells the borrower what may have changed.

0:00 – Introduction

1:00 – There’s ALWAYS confusion about these docs. Loan estimate comes out way up front. Closing Disclosure comes right at the end. They should be ALMOST IDENTICAL. This is an improvement over the HUD-1 Settlement Statement — it’s way more transparent, and way better for the borrower.

3:25 – 3 Day Rule. The borrower has to receive a CD 3 days before they sign the loan. The review should be pretty quick.

4:02 – Closing Disclosure Basics. 1) Loan amount. 2) Interest Rate. 3) Full Payment. 4) Closing Costs. 5) Cash to Close.

4:16 – Loan Amount.

4:31 – Interest Rate.

4:47 – Full Payment.

5:12 – Closing Costs.

5:20 – Cash to Close.

5:40 – Closing Costs vs Pre-Paid Costs. Closing costs are costs to obtain the loan. Prepaids are costs associated with the transaction, but NOT the loan.

6:25 – Shop the Loan Estimate. Compare loan estimates from different lenders to see which lender is giving you a better deal.

7:50 – Property-Specific Expenses. These can be surprises, for example HOA transfer fees.

8:29 – What’d We Learn?

10:13 – Bloopers.
