Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3 7 3 rule in mortgage?

The 3-7-3 rule refers to federal mortgage disclosure timing requirements: lenders must provide the Loan Estimate within 3 business days of application, borrowers have 7 business days to review it before closing can occur, and lenders must provide the Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days before closing. Working with a dedicated mortgage broker like Salem at Lifetime Home Finance means you receive clear explanations of every disclosure, timeline, and number throughout the process so there are no surprises at closing.
