    Study Notes

    Real Estate Advertising Law

    • In-house notes for showing do not require adherence to state or federal laws since they are not visible to consumers.

    Property Inspection Defects

    • A six-inch crack visible during inspection is classified as a patent defect, easily noticeable by an inspector.

    VA Loan Purchase Scenarios

    • If a veteran’s offer exceeds the VA’s certificate of reasonable value (CRV), they may make up the difference in cash to proceed with the purchase.

    Property Taxes

    • General real estate property taxes collected for government operations are referred to as ad valorem taxes.

    VA Loan Assumption

    • VA loans post-March 1, 1988 require VA approval for both the buyer and the assumption agreement for the loan to be assumed.

    Contract Status

    • The status of a real estate sales contract, prior to title transfer, is termed executory when terms are not yet fulfilled.

    Lot Size Discrepancy

    • Actual lot size in a sale takes precedence over quoted sizes in listings and can be verified through a survey.

    Appraised Property Value Calculation

    • For a loan at 75% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, with the first-month interest at $477.82, the appraised property value is calculated at $107,300.

    Title Insurance

    • Title insurance protects against unseen risks like forgeries and title defects, with some exclusions specified.

    Calculating Annual Interest Rate

    • A loan payment of $412.50 interest on a $60,000 balance corresponds to an annual interest rate of 8.25%.

    Impact of Counteroffers

    • When a seller counters an offer, it nullifies the original offer, creating a new offer for the buyer to consider.

    Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

    • The rate cap in an adjustable-rate mortgage limits how much the interest rate can increase within a specified time frame, typically one year.

    Market Influences on Rent

    • In most areas, rental prices are influenced primarily by supply and demand rather than associations or unions.
