Study Notes
Obligations of Property Management
- Responsibilities of property management include:
- Maintaining the property
- Collecting rent
- Handling tenant relations
- Financial reporting
Real Property Characteristics
- Real property encompasses land and anything permanently attached to it, such as buildings and fixtures.
- A chandelier, once installed, is classified as a fixture and considered real property.
- Personal property consists of movable items not permanently attached to the land.
Types of Estates
- Fee simple absolute is the form of ownership providing the highest degree of ownership rights, allowing for use, sale, lease, and bequeathal without limitations.
- Joint tenancy with right of survivorship allows the surviving tenant to inherit the deceased tenant's interest automatically.
- Tenancy in common permits co-owners to sell or transfer their interest independently, without rights of survivorship.
Lease Agreements and Tenant Rights
- "Quiet enjoyment" in lease agreements guarantees the tenant's right to use the property without disturbance from the landlord or third parties.
Deeds and Title Transfer
- The primary purpose of a deed is to transfer ownership of real property from one party to another.
- A quitclaim deed offers the least protection as it transfers only the grantor's interest without warranties about the title.
Mortgages and Financing
- A mortgage involves two parties: the borrower (mortgagor) and the lender (mortgagee). In contrast, a deed of trust involves three parties: a borrower (trustor), a lender (beneficiary), and a trustee.
- Private mortgage insurance (PMI) protects lenders against loss if the borrower defaults and is typically required with a down payment under 20%.
- An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) allows the interest rate to change periodically, affecting monthly payments.
Property Manager Responsibilities
- A property manager oversees the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the property, distinct from selling or appraising property.
Types of Ownership
- A life estate lasts for the duration of a specific person's life and reverts to the original owner or designated remainderman upon death.
- Private land use controls, like deed restrictions, are imposed by developers or homeowners associations to regulate property use.
