30 Days to a New Loan
How long will your loan take from start to finish? That depends on several factors including the type of loan and contract closing date (purchases). The average loan closes in approximately 30 days. It may be longer or shorter depending on your circumstances, but below is a timeline for what you can generally expect on an average loan.
Day 1
Loan Application
Use our easy online application at www.amerifund.com/apply.
Day 2
Documentation
Needs list is sent at time of application. Documentation is reviewed within 24-48 hours of receipt from you.
Day 3
Disclosures
Issued within 3 days of the Loan Application
Day 7
Underwriting
1-3 days for initial underwriting decision.
Day 17
Home Appraisal (If Required)
Averages 10 days from order to completion.
Day 21
Closing Disclosure
The Closing Disclosure (CD) is issued when the loan is approved. There is a 3-day minimum waiting period after acknowledging Closing Disclosure before closing documents can be signed with a Notary.
Day 24
Clear To Close
All conditions reviewed and cleared by lender.
Day 27
Closing Documents
Closing Documents are issued 1 to 3 days after all loan conditions are clear (also known as a Clear-To-Close).
Day 30
Funding
For owner occupied and second homes refinances, there is a 3 business day “right to cancel” waiting period between the day that documents are signed and the day that a loan can fund. For purchases and investment property, there is no waiting period. Typically a loan funds within 1-2 days of the signing of closing documents.
