A promissory note is a written promise to repay the loan under agreed terms, including the amount borrowed, interest rate, and repayment schedule.
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing expressed as a percentage and affects monthly payments and the total amount paid over the life of the loan.
The Loan Estimate outlines loan terms, estimated costs, and closing expectations provided by the lender at the start of the process.
The Closing Disclosure shows final loan terms, projected costs, and the closing date, and must match what you sign at closing.
