The mortgage initiative was designed to help consumers understand their loan options, shop for the mortgage that’s best for them, and avoid costly surprises at the closing table.In 2015 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) initiated wide-ranging changes to the Lending process
The Know before You Owe mortgage disclosure rule replaces four disclosure forms with two new ones, the Loan Estimate and the Closing Disclosure. The new forms are easier to understand and easier to use. The rule also requires that you get three business days to review your Closing Disclosure and ask questions before you close on a mortgage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”” width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
