Closing Disclosures have 5 pages of structured data — and zero machine-readable fields

TRID-mandated Closing Disclosures (the post-2015 replacement for the HUD-1) have a strict 5-page format with loan terms, projected payments, costs at closing (Loan Costs A/B/C, Other Costs E/F/G/H), and the cash-to-close summary. The structure is rigid; the data is exactly what real estate accountants, mortgage QA, and investor reporting teams need. The problem: the PDF is the only output. There's no machine-readable XML companion, no e-MISMO data feed accessible to small brokerage / accounting shops.

Real estate investors holding 30 properties want a portfolio-level view of acquisition costs (CDs from each closing). Mortgage broker QA teams reconcile their lock data against the issued CD line by line. CPA firms preparing real estate investor returns need the Section A/B/C/E/F/G fees broken out for tax basis. Manual retyping is the current state — and a single CD has 60+ line items.

Page-by-page CD structure preserved on extraction

PDFExcel reads TRID Closing Disclosures by page section. Page 1: loan terms (rate, P&I, escrow, prepayment penalty, balloon). Page 2: Loan Costs (A: origination, B: services borrower didn't shop, C: services borrower shopped) and Other Costs (E: taxes/government, F: prepaids, G: initial escrow, H: other). Page 3: cash-to-close summary, summaries of transactions. Page 4: loan disclosures, escrow account info. Page 5: contact info. Each line item extracts as its own row tagged by section.

Drop the result into your real estate investor portfolio sheet, mortgage QA reconciliation, or tax-basis workbook. Pair with real estate persona for the broader real-estate document workflow (leases, ALTA settlement statements, 1098 mortgage interest).

Why real estate teams pick PDFExcel for CDs

Most CD-extraction tools either need lender LOS API access (lender-only) or are part of a $thousand/month real-estate accounting suite. PDFExcel reads any closing-package PDF directly — no LOS access, no integration project.

  • Knows TRID structure. Pages 1-5 extract correctly with section tagging (A/B/C/E/F/G/H). Loan Costs vs Other Costs distinction preserved — critical for tax basis.
  • Free to start, no credit card. 10 documents free every month. Plans from $69/month for 50 docs — most real-estate investors with 5-30 properties fit Starter or free.
  • Works on borrower-side PDF. No lender LOS access required. Runs on the PDF the borrower received at closing — exactly what real estate accountants and tax preparers actually have.
  • Files deleted after processing. CDs contain SSN-adjacent personal financial data. Files processed in memory and deleted immediately. Never stored, never used to train AI.

How it works

  1. Upload your CD PDF. TRID Closing Disclosure (purchase, refi, HELOC, or construction-to-perm). Native PDFs and scanned closing copies both work.
  2. Pick your fields. Loan terms + section-by-section line-item fees by default. Add cash-to-close summary for full settlement view.
  3. Open in your investor portfolio sheet. Excel rows with section-tagged line items. Pivot by section for tax-basis breakout, filter by line for QA reconciliation, aggregate across properties for portfolio-level acquisition cost.

What CD line items look like in Excel

Section-tagged line-item fees from a TRID CD. Pivot by section for tax-basis breakouts (origination → loan basis, prepaids → operating expense, initial escrow → asset). Aggregate across portfolio for total acquisition cost view.

1 A — Origination Application Fee $295.00 Borrower POC
2 A — Origination Origination Charge — 0.5% $2,250.00 Borrower Closing
3 B — Did NOT Shop Appraisal Fee $725.00 Borrower POC
4 C — Did Shop Title — Lender's Title Insurance $840.00 Borrower Closing
5 E — Gov / Taxes Recording Fee $185.00 Borrower Closing
6 F — Prepaids Prepaid Interest (12 days @ 6.5%) $1,180.00 Borrower Closing
7 G — Initial Escrow Property Tax (3 mo) $2,400.00 Borrower Closing

Frequently asked questions

Does it preserve TRID section structure (A/B/C/E/F/G/H)?

Yes. Each line item is tagged by its TRID section. This matters for tax basis (Loan Costs vs Other Costs treatment differs) and for QA (compare lock against Section A only).

Does it handle pre-2015 HUD-1 statements?

Some — the HUD-1 has different line numbering (200/700/800/1000/1100/1200/1300). The model handles common HUD-1 layouts but is best-tuned on post-2015 TRID CDs. For exclusively HUD-1 portfolios, validate accuracy on a sample first.

Can it extract the ALTA Settlement Statement too?

Yes. ALTA Settlement Statements (the title-company-side companion to the TRID CD) extract with similar structure — borrower / seller / lender allocations preserved.

Is the free tier actually free?

10 documents per month, free, forever. Most individual investors and small CPA practices fit free or Starter; mid-size portfolios fit Pro at $199/200 docs.

Can it batch a portfolio of CDs at once?

Yes. Drop a portfolio as a ZIP, get back one Excel with all line items tagged by property + section. See batch processing for the broader workflow.
