Is it normal to not receive initial disclosures

Rob Austin
Posted

For the first four properties that I purchased, the loan officers sent me "initial disclosures" which clearly stated the interest rate expected closing, expected monthly payment etc. 

I'm currently under contract with another property and this company has already had me pay for appraisal and is trying to get me to order insurance, but I still haven't received an initial disclosure or anything like it confirming the interest rate and everything. 

Is this normal?

The previous properties were all conventional, and this is dscr.

You answered your question in the last sentence - disclosures are required on conventional but not for DSCR - these are really aimed at overprotecting the consumer (non sophisticated or non real estate professional) - since DSCR Loans are 100% business purpose and for investors (and typically for experienced investors or non-first time buyers only), there is less need to overly disclose / overly explain everything in a disclosure since its assumed they are experienced and know the basics
