Study Notes
Property Description and Appraisal Math
- Exact property boundaries identified through a legal description.
- Metes and bounds are crucial in describing property; they rely on measurements and directions.
- A metes and bounds description concludes at the true point of beginning.
- Directions in metes and bounds can be expressed in cardinal directions or as angles relative to north or south.
- The lot and block method, also known as the subdivision method, organizes properties into defined sections.
- All dimensions in area calculations must use the same unit of measurement for consistency.
- Property area can be calculated by dividing the space into rectangles and triangles for easier computation.
- Understanding percentages is essential for calculating average comparable prices and property areas.
- Discounting computes the present value of future payments, determining how much future sums are worth today.
- Investment growth accelerates when interest is compounded more frequently, enhancing overall returns.
- A legal property description must clearly define an enclosed parcel, utilizing reference points and boundaries effectively.
