Study Notes
Escrow Process
- In short escrows, the escrow officer's first step is to start the title search.
- Getting ready for closing is also a necessary task but not the initial action.
Financing Terms
- "Assumed" and "subject to" are different concepts in real estate financing.
- These terms involve the transfer of loan obligations and conditions.
Wraparound Deeds
- In a "wraparound" or "all-inclusive" deed of trust, payments are made by the buyer directly to the seller.
- These types of deeds are often connected to existing loans taken over by the buyer.
Homesteading
- Homesteading primarily provides protection against involuntary liens, which can arise from legal actions.
- To initiate a homestead, a Declaration of Homestead must be filed.
Termination of Homestead
- A homestead can be terminated through abandonment, which can be formally declared or occur naturally.
U.S. Government Survey System
- The three reference points for the U.S. Government Survey System exclude San Diego B & M, which is not a reference point.
- The distinction between ranges and tiers lies in their directional orientation: ranges go East and West, while tiers go North and South.
- When reading a U.S. Government Survey, the correct order is to read from right to left.
