  Click here for a printable version of this document

Thank you for trusting us with the financing of your home. A home represents the biggest investment in the life of most Americans and we want to make sure that you are aware of the major features of the home loan that we have secured for you. You will find below the highlights of your loan, which you should have received prior to or at the time of signing of your official loan documents (Note, Trust Deed and other disclosures). If you disagree with any of the features, or if they are any different than what was explained or promised to you by your loan agent or loan processor, please do not sign the loan documents, or if you have already done so, please contact the supervisor of the office originating your loan or the government authority which licenses the mortgage company you have applied with. As a borrower you have rights under Federal and State law that require lenders to disclose in advance the major terms of the loan you are being offered prior to accepting the loan.

While we recommend that you read every page you are asked to sign, we understand that you may not have enough time to read them all. Although not comprehensive, the information hereunder has been extracted from your actual loan documents and you can rely on them to be correct and true. They highlight mainly the terms that may have the biggest and most immediate effect on your ability to repay this new mortgage.

This form is intended to protect a mortgage borrower and provide in a glance the highlights of the loan being secured, because most borrowers simply do not read all the details in the numerous pages they are asked to sign.

How to use it?
Simply click on the link above and print the page, then ask your loan consultant and/or the financial institution to complete and sign every paragraph before you sign your loan documents. After all, if they are asking you to sign dozens of pages, they may as well sign a couple pages themselves, acknowledging what they're giving you so you can hold them accountable.

You have the right to know, and it is the least you should expect, especially since you are paying for these services.

 

HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR LOAN

This Disclosure has been made on this ______ day of ____________ (month) in year ___________ by loan agent ____________________________________ on behalf of ____________________________________ (mortgage company), Loan Number #_________________. The highlights below are extracted from your official loan documents and are not estimates. These are terms that we have actually secured for you and are part of your loan.

Borrower Name(s):


Property Address:


AMORTIZATION

Your Loan Has a Negative Amortization Feature:

We hereby remind you that your loan is a Potential Negative Amortizing Loan, which means that if you make only the minimum payments based on the Initial Interest Rate, your loan balance will gradually increase over time instead of decreasing with each payment. While you will be charged an initial interest rate of ___.___%, this rate is good for only _______ month(s) at which time it will rise by at least _____%. As a result, you will be charged a much higher interest rate even though you may continue making the low initial payments. The difference between your minimum payments based on the low initial interest rate and the higher payments expected of you based on the higher interest you will be charged (not the initial interest rate) will be added on your loan and will raise your balance each month.

If the paragraph above is crossed-out, not filled-in/completed, I certify that you do NOT have a Negative Amortizing loan, otherwise, you can count on the information above.

Agent Signature: _________________________ Date: ___/___/___

These forms allow a lender to verify with the IRS, at their own discretion, if the income information you have provided as part of your application matches with the income filed on the tax returns you have filed with the IRS. In case of a discovered discrepancy a lender may accelerate your loan, which means that you may have to payoff your loan immediately (typically within 30 days).
