Loan Estimate
The Loan Estimate (LE) is a standardized three-page federal form lenders are required to provide within 3 business days of a complete mortgage application. It replaced the older Good Faith Estimate (GFE) under 2015 TRID rules.
The LE itemizes: loan terms (rate, amount, term), projected monthly payment, estimated closing costs broken into categories, cash needed to close, and key disclosures like prepayment penalties and balloon payments. Borrowers compare LEs across lenders to choose the best offer.
Why it matters for Milo customers
Milo issues a Loan Estimate on every mortgage application. The LE makes it easy to compare Milo's crypto-backed mortgage costs against conventional alternatives — apples-to-apples on rate, fees, and total cost over the loan term.
