Running Fees & Initial Disclosure

Generating an initial disclosure will send the disclosures to your borrower(s) and Loan Officer, so we strongly recommend validating their email addresses on the URLA pages before beginning this step. If the email addresses are incorrect, you will need to contact our Disclosure Desk at disclosures@jmaclending.com to update and resend the disclosures. 

Additionally, you will need to ensure the borrower(s) mailing address is complete since we may need to mail the disclosures.
