Construction Loans & TRID Back in March, the CFPB addressed construction loans as part of the Federal Reserve’s Outlook Live series. If you missed it, you can still register and listen to the webinar. We want to touch on some of the key takeaways from this webinar, and also explain, “How BCC would do it”. For your benefit, we’ve put together a TRID Construction Loan Packet that includes a sample Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure that reflects our preferred method of disclosing these multiple-advance loans. The packet also includes a key, which walks you through and explains some of the more complex fields of the sample disclosure. These are being provided as a supplementary document to this article.
Understandably, there’s been a lot of confusion and frustration over construction lending. If you do construction lending, the CFPB could have done us all a favor by at least giving us a model form as an example of how this was all supposed to look. This is why we feel it’s important for us to give you a sample disclosure.
Our example is a construction-only loan with monthly interest-only payments. Interest is charged only on the amount advanced, with the amount and timing of advances being unknown.
First off, here are some important things to remember:
• You have options. There could be a number of different ways to accuratelydisclose a construction loan, but the disclosures need to reflect the actualterms of the note. So, if you’re disclosing the construction phase separately,the disclosure(s) should reflect only that transaction, regardless of whetheryou’re doing the permanent financing.
• You can still rely on the assumptions in Appendix D if you don’t know theamount or timing of advances. If you’re only charging interest on the amountadvanced, you’re allowed to estimate the monthly payments based on half thecommitment amount being advanced for the entire construction period. Theability to do so impacts several items on both the Loan Estimate and theClosing Disclosure, including payment amounts and the APR.
1
• There is a “primary” (i.e. “with a seller”) version of both the Loan Estimate andClosing Disclosure. You’re able to use the primary version of the forms for allyour transactions and we would recommend it when it comes to constructionloans. If there is no seller involved in the transaction, you are able to use the“alternate” versions of the forms. Just remember that if you issue a LoanEstimate on the primary/“With a seller” version, you need to stick with thatversion on your Closing Disclosure as well (and vice versa).
• When disclosing both the Purpose and the Product, there are hierarchies tobe followed. For example, if a loan is to buy a lot that will secure the loan andbe built upon, you have a purchase transaction for TRID, even though themajority of the funds are going towards construction. If you pay off theconstruction loan with permanent financing and both are secured by the sameproperty, the purpose for the permanent financing (for TRID) is a refinance.
• Likewise, a construction loan that has both an interest-only payment featureas well as a balloon payment feature must reflect only the interest-onlyfeature in the product description. Why? Well, because the rule states thatan interest-only payment feature trumps a balloon payment feature and youonly disclose one. In other words, because the CFPB said so.
There are some things, such as the Calculating Cash to Close table, that canmake you feel like disclosing a construction loan is a science experimentgone wrong. While you have to stay within the boundaries of the rule’srequirements, you do have options. We do feel it’s possible for this to allmake sense (eventually, anyway J).
Loan Terms The Loan Terms Chart is where the ability to use Appendix D first impacts the disclosures. You disclose the amount of the initial payment due at the initial interest rate. Most construction loans that we see have interest-only payments based on the amount advanced. However, if you don’t know when advances will be made, you use Appendix D, which allows you to calculate the interest based on half the commitment amount being advanced for the entire construction period.
The most confusing part, however, may be that you answer “NO” to the question of “Can this amount increase after closing” for a fixed-rate construction-only loan. Granted, this seems to fly in the face of “clear and conspicuous” because you know that the payment absolutely could increase. However, under Appendix D, you assume that half of the amount is advanced for the entire term of the loan, no more or less.
Many construction loans contain a Balloon Payment at the end of the term and you’re required to disclose the maximum amount of a balloon payment and when it will occur. To determine the amount to disclose, the principal amount here will be the entire loan amount; however, the amount of interest that will also be due is again determined based on half of the commitment amount. So, the maximum balloon payment is the sum of the loan amount and the interest payment due when half of the amount is advanced.
Projected Payments When we look at the Projected Payments table, the first column should show the same payment amount that you disclosed in the Loan Terms table. If the payment is interest-only, you must also designate under the amount that the payment amount is “only interest”. On a fixed-rate construction-only loan, you won’t show a range. This follows the same logic as why we state “NO” the amount cannot increase in the Loan Terms table. You don’t disclose a range just because you don’t know when or how much advances will be because Appendix D allows us to assume interest based on half of the loan amount being advanced during the entire construction period. So, construction-only, fixed-rate loans with interest-only payments will likely only have two columns, one reflecting the interest-only payment for year 1 (you must use whole years) and one column for the Final Payment (the Balloon).
Also part of the Projected Payments section is the Estimated Taxes, Insurance & Assessments. Remember that the rules for disclosing the Estimated Taxes, Insurance, & Assessments require you to project what the insurance and taxes will be after any known improvements are made to the property, regardless of whether those improvements will be made with your loan funds. How? You need to use the best information reasonably available. In other words, you can’t just guess. Have a process in place for determining this information.
Loan Costs and Other Costs Some of you have draw and inspection fees, but you’re not sure how many will be charged. Again, you need to base the disclosure on the best information available at the time of the disclosure. If you don’t know the exact schedule of fees, you may base the estimated charge on similar past transactions.
Holdback What to do with those funds that you’re holding for construction disbursements has probably wreaked the most havoc on your disclosures.
First off, it’s important to realize that you have options. There’s more than one way to address a “construction holdback”. We’ve heard of different options from a number of different places. Not all were mentioned during the webinar. In fact, the CFPB doesn’t like the term “holdback” and are reluctant to use it because it’s not defined.
Make sure, however, that you label the holdback funds in a way that’s consistent with other loan documents, including the Note. If other documents don’t address or label these funds, label them in a way that best allows the consumer to identify what they are for.
Here are some options for how to show the holdback funds:
1. On the primary (with a seller) Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, disclosethe holdback in the Calculating Cash to Close table as a positive numberwithin the Adjustments and Other Credits section, which offsets the negativenumber that results from the required calculation for Funds for Borrower (Debtbeing satisfied – Loan Amount). The amount is then also disclosed inSection K (under Adjustments) in the Summaries of Transactions on theClosing Disclosure.
So, take a $100,000 construction loan. Let’s say a lot is being purchased for$10,000 and the remaining funds are being held for future construction draws.The Funds for Borrower would be determined by $10,000 - $100,000 for atotal of - $90,000. You would then list a positive $90,000 for Adjustments andOther Credits on the Loan Estimate and in Section K of the ClosingDisclosure (which will roll into the Adjustments in the Calculating Cash toClose table on the Closing Disclosure). This method is reflected in ourexample.
2. Disclose the holdback in Section H (Other), which rolls it into the TotalClosing Costs, Section J, and the Calculating Cash to Close table. Caution,as this will greatly inflate your closing costs!
On the primary disclosures, that amount would be offset by the negativenumber for Funds for Borrower (Third Party Payments – Loan amount).
Take our $100,000 construction loan example from above. Even if there areno other closing costs, the total closing costs will be disclosed as $90,000!The Funds for Borrower would be determined by $10,000 - $100,000 for atotal of - $90,000 to offset the total closing costs.
On the alternate Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, disclosing theholdback in Section H, Other, will result in your total closing costs being alarge negative number. This would be offset in the Calculating Cash to Closetable, at least in part, by the positive loan amount.
Applicants who are actually “shopping” (or who just look at the disclosure) willlikely be alarmed if your closing costs are $90,000 more than the bank downthe street. Remember, that the Total Closing Costs appear on the first pageof the disclosure as well.

3. Disclose the holdback as a Payoff or Payment.
On the primary Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, the holdback wouldthen be factored into the Funds for Borrower calculation (Third-partypayments – Loan amount) of the Calculating Cash to Close table. In theexample above, you would take the sum of both the $10,000 lot purchase andthe $90,000 holdback and subtract the loan amount, which in this case wouldleave you with $0. The math works if you never show the holdback, but thatseems confusing as well. If you show the holdback in the transactionsummaries on the Closing Disclosure, you’re not doing an apples-to-applescomparison back to the Loan Estimate.
On the alternate Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, treating the holdbackas a Payoff or Payment means it is reflected as a negative number in theCalculating Cash to Close table; the negative number will again be offset, atleast in part, by the positive loan amount. Also, include it in the Payoffs andPayments table on the Closing Disclosure.
We recommend Option #1. While the CFPB didn’t specifically endorse this option during their webinar, we feel it does the best job of showing the customer the terms of their legal obligation, or what is actually happening with the transaction. Now, this option won’t be available to you if you’re using the alternate forms. If that’s the case, either option #2 or #3 will work. It just depends on whether you want to explain the holdback as either being part of the higher closing costs or shown as a Payoff or Payment. Given those options, we would recommend going with option #3 and treating the holdback as a payoff. We don’t like the second option (which was the first option offered by the CFPB) because it inflates your total closing costs. It seems difficult to explain and confusing to a consumer.
Adjustable Payment There’s also been quite a bit of confusion as to whether a balloon payment by itself triggers the Adjustable Payment table. However, a construction-only loan with interest-only payments and a balloon does not trigger the Adjustable Payment table because the loan is not changing to a different payment stream (such as principal and interest payments); it is simply coming due and the rule has different requirements for disclosing the balloon payment.
Again, there are options. Options are often frustrating because it’s easier to just say, “Tell me how to do it so it’s not wrong” or “…so I don’t get written up for it”. We understand. We encourage you; however, to use these options to your advantage. Your system may use a different method for construction loans, or other closed-end loans with multiple advances. Those could be okay as well. If you stay within the framework of the rule and your disclosures accurately reflect the transaction, we believe you’ll be okay.

Escrow AccountFor now, your loan
will have an escrow account (also called an “impound” or “trust” account) to pay the property costs listed below. Without an escrow account, you would pay them directly, possibly in one or two large payments a year. Your lender may be liable for penalties and interest for failing to make a payment.
Escrow
Escrowed Property Costs over Year 1
Estimated total amount over year 1 for your escrowed property costs:
Non-Escrowed Property Costs over Year 1
Estimated total amount over year 1 for your non-escrowed property costs:
You may have other property costs.
Initial Escrow Payment
A cushion for the escrow account you pay at closing. See Section G on page 2.
Monthly Escrow Payment
The amount included in your total monthly payment.
No Escrow
Estimated Property Costs over Year 1
Estimated total amount over year 1. You must pay these costs directly, possibly in one or two large payments a year.
Escrow Waiver Fee
will not have an escrow account because you declined it your lender does not offer one. You must directly pay your property costs, such as taxes and homeowner’s insurance. Contact your lender to ask if your loan can have an escrow account.
In the future, Your property costs may change and, as a result, your escrow pay-ment may change. You may be able to cancel your escrow account, but if you do, you must pay your property costs directly. If you fail to pay your property taxes, your state or local government may (1) impose fines and penalties or (2) place a tax lien on this property. If you fail to pay any of your property costs, your lender may (1) add the amounts to your loan balance, (2) add an escrow account to your loan, or (3) require you to pay for property insurance that the lender buys on your behalf, which likely would cost more and provide fewer benefits than what you could buy on your own.

Sample Construction Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure Key Six-month, Interest-Only Construction Note with a Fixed Rate
Interest Due only on the Amount Advanced Amount and timing of Advances Unknown
LOAN ESTIMATE
Property: The address of the security property
Sale Price: “Sale Price” is used since the security property (i.e. the lot) is being purchased with $10,000 of the loan proceeds.
Purpose: “Purchase” is used because the security property (the lot) will be bought with loan proceeds.
Product: There are five months of interest-only payments, so the product reflects “5 mo. Interest Only, Fixed Rate”. The payment at the end of the six months is the balloon payment. The “Interest Only” feature is disclosed rather than the balloon payment because it “overrides” the balloon payment feature when both occur in the same transaction.
Loan Terms
Loan Amount: The face amount of the Note is $100,000.
Monthly Principal & Interest: Estimated interest is based on half the commitment amount being outstanding for the entire construction period:
½ the Commitment Amount
Initial Interest Rate
Months in a year
$50,000 * 5% / 12 = $208.33
The answer to “Can this amount increase after closing?” is NO because of the following:
• The loan has a fixed interest rate• Interest-only payments are in effect for the entire loan and Appendix D allows us to assume ½ of the
commitment amount is advanced for the entire construction period.
Balloon Payment: The balloon payment is based on the entire commitment amount plus the amount of interest due under the assumption that half the loan amount will be advanced for the entire construction period:
Estimated Monthly Interest
Note Amount
208.33 + $100,000 = $100,208.33
Projected Payments
Principal & Interest:
• Column one shows the interest-only payment, as calculated above.• No range is disclosed due to the fixed interest rate and the assumptions provided under Appendix D.• The final column represents the balloon payment, as calculated above.

Estimated Taxes, Insurance & Assessments: The amounts need to be based on the replacement cost and taxable assessed value of the property in the first year after closing, including any improvements.
Calculating Cash to Close
Total Closing Costs (J):
Total Loan Costs Total Other Costs Lender Credits $2,190 + $550 - 0 = $2,740
Closing Costs Financed (Paid from your Loan Amount):
In this scenario, the only third-party payment at closing is the advance for the lot purchase.
Loan Amount Third-Party Payments other than closing costs
$100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000* If the required calculation results in a negative number or $0, $0 is disclosed for the Closing Costs Financed.
If the required calculation results in a positive number, it is disclosed as a negative number to reduce the cash to close. The amount cannot exceed the Total Closing Costs in Section J.
*Here, the calculation results in a positive $90,000, but since the closing costs financedcannot exceed the Total Closing Costs of $2,740, $2,740 is disclosed.
Down Payment/Funds from Borrower:
Third-party payments
Loan amount after any closing costs financed
$10,000 - (100,000 - $2,740) = -$87,260* *Since the calculation results in a negative number, it is disclosed as Funds for Borrowerand $0 is disclosed as the Down Payment/Funds from Borrower. If the result of thecalculation is a positive number, it would be disclosed as the Down Payment/Funds fromBorrower and $0 is disclosed as Funds for Borrower.
Funds for Borrower:
Third-party payments
Loan amount after any closing costs financed
$10,000 - (100,000 - $2,740) = -$87,260* *Since the calculation results in a negative number, it is disclosed as Funds for Borrowerand $0 is disclosed as the Down Payment/Funds from Borrower. If the result of therequired calculation is a positive number, that number would be disclosed as the DownPayment/Funds from Borrower and $0 is disclosed for Funds for Borrower.
Adjustments and Other Credits: The total amount of undisbursed construction funds is shown as a positive number, which offsets the large negative number in Funds for Borrower.
In other words, you show the undisbursed proceeds as a negative number (reducing the cash to close) going to the borrower in Funds for Borrower; however, you take those proceeds right back with a positive number in Adjustments and Other Credits, increasing the cash to close.
Adjustable Payment (AP) Table: The table is not triggered because there is no change in the payment stream. There are interest-only payments for the entire loan term until the balloon payment due at maturity.

Other Considerations*
*The special consideration here for a construction loan is on the Loan Estimate for the permanent financing. If youwant to take advantage of the ability to reissue a Loan Estimate any time prior to 60 days before closing, the LoanEstimate for the permanent financing should reflect the following disclosure:
You may receive a revised Loan Estimate at any time prior to 60 days before consummation.
