Loan Estimate
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, requires your lender to issue a Loan Estimate within three business days of receiving your mortgage application. The Loan Estimate details the terms of your loans along with estimated closing costs.

The Closing Disclosure is also required by the CFPB. While your lender is charged with providing this document, it may assign that responsibility to your settlement or title company. You'll receive your Closing Disclosure at least three business days prior to your transaction closing.
