Loan Estimate Page 2
Working with 2015 RESPA-TILA Regulations
The Loan Estimate input forms (pages 1-3) enable you to review, edit, or enter information that is populated to the Loan Estimate output form that is provided to the borrower no later than the third business day after the loan application is received. Use the Loan Estimate Page 2 to review loan costs paid by the borrower, seller, and others at and before closing. Information on this form is populated from the 2015 Itemization form. The fees are grouped into two columns: Loan Costs and Other Costs. This form is used to populate page 2 of the Loan Estimate output form.
