C. No. Owners are not covered by Reg. Z. D. No. Brokers can advertise the down payment. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Regulation Z requires disclosure of all financing terms and conditions if a low interest rate, down payment or other enticement is featured in an ad. This does not apply in this case, however, because Regulation Z applies only to institutions, not individuals selling their own property. A mortgage company makes a number of loans to be assembled into one package and sold to permanent investors. This process is an example of interim financing to the mortgage company and is called: A. blanket financing. B. package financing. C. warehousing. D. discounting. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Warehousing refers to the process whereby banks and other lenders make mortgage loans to consumers for the purpose of quickly selling those loans on the secondary market. The "warehousing" occurs when individual loans are bundled, often with a common element such as the size of the mortgage or credit worthiness of the borrowers, and sold as a single unit. The primary purpose of Truth in Lending is to: A. Control interest rates on behalf of the consumer. B. Control the true costs to close a transaction. C. Disclose the true costs of only an FHA loan. D. Disclose the true costs of obtaining credit. CORRECT ANSWER: D. Truth in Lending, otherwise known as Regulation Z, is intended to do away with deceptive financing tactics, especially those involving hidden costs--for example, advertising a $250 car lease as zero-down and then tacking a $1,200 upfront payment at the time of contract disguised as an "incidental" acquisition fee. Why is the RESPA closing statement allowed to be examined on or before closing? A. to allow the buyer to see costs at or before closing to see if he/she can get the loan at a cheaper price B. to make sure the title insurance came from the right company C. to check for mathematical errors D. to provide for special fees to specific parties for business related to the real estate transaction CORRECT ANSWER: C. This is not a step that should be dismissed. With the increased volume in home mortgages, the fact is a significant amount of closing statements do contain errors and it's easer and better to correct them before closing than after. If a single parent is applying for a real estate loan, when would the fact have to be revealed that part of the parent's income is from child support? A. when applying for a VA or FHA loan if the parent's income is less than $25,
B. If more than 50% of the parent's income is from non-wage sources C. If the parent was relying on the income for repayment of the loan D. This type of income never needs to be disclosed. It would be a violation of ECOA. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Income of any type--whether alimony, child support, freelance work or a second job--only needs to be disclosed if the applicant is relying on it to qualify for the loan. When the lender under a deed of trust requires title insurance, who would be the most likely person to pay for it? A. the mortgagee B. the trustee C. the trustor D. the beneficiary CORRECT ANSWER: C. "Trustor" is another name for the borrower and "trustee" is a "supposedly" neutral third party who holds naked legal title, the right to foreclose at the instructions of the beneficiary for non-payment of a promissory note. The beneficiary is the lender in a Deed of Trust. Even though it's the lender who requires the insurance to protect his/her position, it's the borrower who pays for it. The Pickets are purchasing a home for $78,000 and the lender is giving them a 90% loan at 10% interest, plus a 2% loan origination fee. How much is the loan origination fee? A. $1, B. $1, C. $1, D. $7,020 CORRECT ANSWER: A. A loan for 90% of the $78,000 purchase price results in a $70,200 mortgage. Since the origination fee is based on the amount of the mortgage, not the price of the home, the fee is 2% of $70,200 or $1,404. Discrimination is prohibited in lending practices under: A. ECOA B. RESPA C. Truth in Lending Act D. FNMA CORRECT ANSWER: A. Passed in 1992, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits a broad spectrum of discriminatory lending practices, including the granting or denial of credit or the costs associated with borrowing based on race, gender, marital status, source of income (e.g., public assistance) and other factors. A buyer assumes the mortgage. How is the owner relieved of the liability? A. subject to mortgage B. novation C. substitution
A. Yes. The buyer can do as he wishes since he is making the contract. B. Yes. This is acceptable as long as the seller agrees. C. No. Only money can be used for consideration. D. No. Only the seller can write a promissory note. CORRECT ANSWER: B. This is a form of owner financing and is perfectly acceptable, so long as both parties agree to the terms and conditions. If advertised alone, which would be in violation of TRUTH IN LENDING? A. "FHA financing available" B. "assumable loan" C. "No down payment required." D. "easy financing terms" CORRECT ANSWER: C. "No down payment required" triggers the Truth in Lending disclosures because it is a specific statement about only one aspect of the financing. "Easy terms" does not trigger the regulation because it's non-specific. Why would a mortgagee (beneficiary) have an appraisal on the property? A. to make sure the buyer did not pay too much B. to determine the value of the property C. to protect the buyer from fraud D. to assure the property value is sufficient to cover the loan CORRECT ANSWER: D. Appraisals are third-party valuations of a property based on a wide range of variables. Lenders generally insist on this independent assessment to make sure the value of the property is at least sufficient to pay off the loan amount in case of default. In a repayment of a mortgage loan, which type of interest is used? A. simple B. discount C. compound D. floating CORRECT ANSWER: A. Compound interest is associated with savings accounts and reflects the fact that money left on deposit earns interest on the interest it has already earned. "Floating" and Discount" are terms associated with the bank-to- bank transactions and financial markets. An owner was selling his own home. Can he advertise the down payment? A. No, because it violates RESPA. B. No, because it violates Regulation Z. C. Yes--as long as it was listed with a broker. D. Yes, because it was his own home. CORRECT ANSWER: D. Broadly speaking, an individual homeowner is free to sell his/her own home as he/she chooses and is not subject to Truth in Lending or real estate practice restrictions.
Which is true about restrictive covenants? A. They are placed by private parties in a deed. B. They are placed by government agencies in a deed. C. They are voidable by successive owners. D. They are placed by government agencies in the public record. CORRECT ANSWER: A. Restrictive covenants are most commonly associated with subdivisions and community management associations and are intended to maintain consistency within the neighborhood. While viewed as a benefit by most, they do limit the owner's use of the property and are binding on future owners. Looking at shopping centers in the appraisal process, the social fiber of the community and distances from schools is called: A. neighborhood analysis B. market data approach C. site analysis D. social analysis CORRECT ANSWER: A. This involves more than just driving around. It is a formal process of identifying, measuring and analyzing the influences that help determine a neighborhood's vitality and desirability. Which best describes why a buyer purchases a home using the market data approach? A. Buyers buy on impulse. B. Buyers buy based on how much income can be derived from other property. C. Buyers buy after they compare the house with others. D. Buyers buy based on current construction costs. CORRECT ANSWER: C. While emotion and impulse are certainly strong motivators, a home is also a considered purchase. What most people seek, within their affordability range, is value more than price. The only way to determine which home combines the elements of price, features, quality, condition, location and other factors that give a particular buyer the best value for his or her needs is to compare as many properties as possible. A scale drawing shows a room to be 3 inches by 4 ½ inches. Carpet, which is $15 per square yard, is to be installed in the room. If the scale is 1 inch to 4 feet, how much would it cost to install the carpet? A. $ B. $ C. $ D. $3,240 CORRECT ANSWER: C. At a scale of 4' to the inch, the room measures 12' x 18' or 216 square feet. Since there are nine square feet to one square yard, the room will require twenty-four square yards of carpet at $15 per yard. A tenant leased 3000 square feet at $10 per square foot and 8% of gross income. The total annual rent she paid was $60,000. What was the gross income on which she paid percentage rent?
A real estate agent should tell the buyer, his customer, which of the following? A. how long a property has been on the market B. the seller's motivation for marketing his property C. a pending or recent zoning change D. The seller is getting a divorce. CORRECT ANSWER: C. A zoning change is a "material fact"--something that can have a direct impact on the property's value or desirability. For example, if the zoning in a middle class neighborhood on the edge of a growing city was changed from residential to mixed use, it means that a number of homes could be turned into businesses, which will make the property less desirable to people seeking a quiet place to raise a family. A square is 1/8 of a mile by 1/8 of a mile. How many acres is this? A. 10 acres. B. 20 acres. C. 40 acres. D. 160 acres. CORRECT ANSWER: A. One-eighth of a mile square is the same as 10 acres. Multiply 1/8 X 1/8 = 1/64 divided into 640 acres = 10 acres The first step in an appraisal is: A. a market data comparison. B. to define the problem. C. a neighborhood analysis. D. to gather information. CORRECT ANSWER: B. Appraisers can legitimately come up with different values for the same property depending on the purpose of the appraisal. For example, an appraisal for a second mortgage generally would be more conservative than one for a competitive market analysis for the purpose of selling the home. Additionally, an appraisal for insurance purposes focuses more on the costs of replacing the structure rather than what the house, land and intangibles, such as curb appeal, would be worth on the open market. A recorded subdivision plat is used in the: A. geodetic survey system. B. rectangular survey system. C. lot and block system. D. metes and bounds system. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Lot and block is the "final" survey of property being readied for development and identifies each individual parcel in a subdivision. An appraiser is usually paid: A. a fee based on a percentage of the appraised value. B. a fee based on the amount of time and effort.
C. a fee agreed upon after the appraisal is completed. D. a standard fee agreed upon by the National Appraisal Association. CORRECT ANSWER: B. There are two fundamental reasons for the "time and effort" rather than valuation method. First is the fact that the differences between any two properties make it impossible to relate the complexity of the task to the value of the property. A high-end property could be a relative "no brainer" while a particular mid-market home could have dozens of variables to be analyzed. The second reason is that basing fees on value places an obvious incentive on appraisers to estimate high, thus distorting reality. The primary survey line running north and south in the rectangular survey system is the: A. township line. B. base line. C. range line. D. principal meridian. CORRECT ANSWER: D. Crossing a base line, the PM is the primary reference point for locating and describing land falling within its boundaries. The zoning commission of Jefferson County requires that all new construction in a specific area adhere to a specific type of architecture. What type of zoning is this? A. bulk B. incentive C. directive D. aesthetic CORRECT ANSWER: D. Aesthetic zoning helps ensure consistency within a neighborhood or area, thus raising its visual appeal and, very often, its desirability and value as a place to live. The appraisal approach most likely to be used in valuing a public library building would be: A. market. B. cost. C. income. D. residual. CORRECT ANSWER: B. The cost method is most often used for buildings where actual income or comparative commercial value are unavailable--such as schools and libraries. Physical deterioration is considered curable whenever: A. It is caused by lack of maintenance. B. It does not result in loss of economic utility. C. It costs less to correct than the resulting value increase. D. It can be repaired regardless of the cost. CORRECT ANSWER: C. For example, let's say an older office building needs to update electric and add bathrooms, repartition offices and fire safety features to meet code for resale. The cost to complete the work is estimated at $2.2 million. However, the building is fully paid for and can easily be sold
D. an increase adjustment to the comparable's selling price. CORRECT ANSWER: A. It's important to remember that adjustments are made to the comparable, not the subject property. For example, let's assume two homes are identical in every respect, except the comparable property has a swimming pool the subject home lacks. If the subject property is on the market for $175,000 and a swimming pool typically adds $8,000 to the selling price of homes in that area, the appraiser would deduct $8, from the sale price of the comparable rather than adding it to the subject property to make his comparison. Economic obsolescence in a property is generally: A. a result of poor maintenance. B. due to architectural faults. C. a type of depreciation that is incurable. D. caused by the aging process. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Implicit in the term "economic obsolescence" is the conclusion that repairs and upgrades have already been considered and would not present a cost-effective option. At this point, next to abandonment, demolition for re-use of the land is the only viable alternative. When an appraiser uses the phrase "effective age," he is referring to: A. the number of years since the improvements were made. B. the age of the property based upon its condition. C. the estimated total life of an improvement. D. the number of years during which the property will yield a worthwhile return on the investment made. CORRECT ANSWER: B. Effective age is a combination of many factors, including location, quality of construction and maintenance, architectural style, actual age, climate and so forth. A well-built building in a desirable location will have a much longer effective life than a cheaply constructed space in a poorly maintained office park setting. The Adams family purchased the largest and most expensive house in a new subdivision. Five years later, when they were ready to move, they discovered the monetary value of the home had gone up proportionately less than the other houses in the neighborhood. This phenomenon is an example of the principle of: A. diminishing return. B. change. C. regression. D. substitution. CORRECT ANSWER: C. The regression principle is the reason people are cautioned against owning the most expensive house in the neighborhood. It's an observation of the fact that lower priced homes (and commercial buildings) have a much greater downward pull on the value of higher end properties than the other way around. In valuing a single-family residence by the comparison approach, an appraiser would make adjustments to:
A. the comparable properties. B. the subject property. C. both the comparable and the subject property. D. current properties being offered for sale. CORRECT ANSWER: A. The objective of an appraisal is to arrive at a fair estimate of the subject property's value based on what comparable properties have actually sold for. The most reliable way of achieving this is to make additions and subtractions from the comparables rather than the other way around. In the example of a 3-bredroom ranch, property A might have sold for $225,000, but features a two-car garage instead of the subject property's 3-car garage. If the value of the extra garage space is $5,500, the first comparable is raised to $230,500. If the next property is identical to the subject, except it had a brand-new, high-end kitchen that added approximately $25,000 to the selling price and the home sold for $257,000, that comparable's price would be reduced to $232,000. An owner was building a house for himself. Due to personal preference, he decided not to put in a bathtub. This would result in: A. physical deterioration. B. external obsolescence. C. functional obsolescence. D. social obsolescence. CORRECT ANSWER: C. Functional obsolescence can result from both outdated features as well as poor design. For example, while an older home with five bedrooms and only one bath is obsolete by today's standards, so too is a new home with no bathtubs or with bedrooms that can be accessed only by going through another bedroom. How does one determine the gross rent multiplier? A. Property value divided by the capitalization rate. B. Property value divided by the monthly rent. C. Property value divided by the net income. D. Property value divided by the gross income. CORRECT ANSWER: B. This is used as a quick, short-hand "guesstimate" for a property's approximate value. Sometimes this calculation produces a positive cash flow; other times a negative one--and one is not necessarily better than the other. Far more detailed calculations are necessary to determine a property's real market value and attractiveness as an investment. Restrictive covenants that run with the land: A. are no longer effective when the title is transferred. B. apply only until the developer has conveyed the title. C. can be removed by a court of competent jurisdiction. D. apply to and bind all successive owners of the property. CORRECT ANSWER: D. Often put in place to maintain the consistency and desirability of a neighborhood, restrictive covenants have withstood court tests and prohibit all future owners from certain actions or modifications of their property, such as adding outbuildings or
D. being declared mentally incompetent CORRECT ANSWER: C. Depositing earnest money into the firm's escrow account IS proper conduct for a broker. The other circumstances are grounds for suspension or revocation. Sam is a licensed broker in new Jersey who has given a lender a sales price that is higher than the actual price.

Sam may lose his license and be fined and/or imprisoned C. the buyer may receive an interest rate break on the larger amount, yet still close on the correct amount D. the buyer can receive a higher mortgage amount in this situation CORRECT ANSWER: B. In this situation, the broker is considered a party to a dual contract for the purpose of obtaining a larger loan amount. This may result in a loss of the broker's license or possible fine and imprisonment.

The broker is not required to open separate trust accounts. He may deposit the buyer's funds into an escrow account within five business
