The Slathertons are looking at buying a $300,000 property with a 20-year loan at a 6% interest rate. How much would their monthly principal and interest amount be? Plug in the numbers using the amortization chart in your resources to see what the payment per month would be. (Use the amortization chart your lesson instructed you to print out.)

$2,149.30 The estimated payment is $2,149.30. Remember to divide $300,000 by 1,000, then multiply the factor (7.16431) by 300.

A buyer has a 30-year, $400,000 loan with a 7% interest rate. How much of the first month's mortgage payment is interest?

Henry submits an offer on a condo and includes an earnest money check for 10% of his offer, which the seller accepts. Later on at closing, he brings a cashier's check for $34,450 (comprising the remaining half of his 20% down payment and $7,950 in closing costs). What's the condo's purchase price in whole dollars?

$265,000 Subtract closing costs from cashier's check amount to find down payment balance ($34,450 - $7,950 = $26,500), which equals the earnest money (total down payment is 20%). Divide earnest money by 10% to find purchase price ($26,500 ÷ .1 = $265,000).

A seller wants to break even after the broker's commission of 5% and loan balance of $300,000 are paid. At what price must the house sell?

$315,789 In order to calculate this, start with 100% minus a 5% commission, which is 95% or .95. Take $300,000 and divide this amount by .95.

A buyer with a $350,000 loan has a monthly principal and interest payment of $2,102.36. If $1,801.23 is interest, what's the new principal balance after the first payment is applied?

$349,698.87 If $1,801.23 of the $2,102.36 is interest, that leaves $301.13 for principal. Subtract $301.13 from $350,000 for a new principal balance of $349,698.87.

$54,150 Lenore's offer is $270,750 which is 95% of the list price ($285,000 x .95 = $270,750 ). Her total down payment is 20% of her accepted offer of $270,750, which is $54,150 (or $270,750 x .2).

9,005.85 The sales price is $285,900, and 90% of that (aka our loan amount) is $257,310. The discount amount is 3-1/2 points, (.035) multiplied by $257,310 = $9,005.85.

The Goldmans are buying the Kraskis' house for $415,000, and closing is set for March 15. The Kraskis have a loan balance of $230,000 at a rate of 4.7% and have prepaid property taxes ($2,506) and insurance ($1,400), and they also have mortgage interest to consider. Using a 365-day proration method, calculate the prorated amount the Goldmans will owe the Kraskis at closing. Assume February has 28 days this year. The sellers own the day of closing.

Calculate daily rates for taxes to be prorated: $2,506 ÷ 365 = $6.87. The Kraskis pay the first 74 days (January 1 through March 15): 74 x $6.87 = $508.38. $2,506 - $508.38 = $1,997.62 owed by the Goldmans. Remember that regarding insurance, if a prorated amount is paid back the sellers, it would be paid by the insurance company rather than the buyers.

Joyce just closed on a condo for $366,900 and put down 20% to obtain an 80% loan and avoid having to pay for private mortgage insurance. How much equity does she have in her condo?

Joyce's equity is $73,380. The value of her condo is $366,900. She put $73,380 down ($366,900 x .20). Because she just closed, her equity is exactly the same as her down payment.

Julio's lender presents him with a loan for $275,000 for 30 years at a 4.75% interest rate. How many discount points does Julio need to pay upfront to lower the interest rate to 4%?

The assessed value for your buyer clients' new purchase is $209,000. They feel they got a great deal since they're purchasing the property for $175,000. They've asked you to estimate their monthly property taxes. You know the rate for their jurisdiction is .52%. What is the monthly tax amount your clients owe?

Multiply the assessed value by the tax rate and divide by 12 to calculate monthly taxes. ($209,000 x .52%) = $1,086.80 ÷ 12 = $90.57

How much in whole dollars will he have left to put down on the condo he wants to buy?

Roberto's closing costs will be $7,050 ($235,000 x 0.03) and commission will be $14,100 ($235,000 x 0.06). Subtract those two amounts, the furnace cost ($800), and the mortgage loan payoff ($48,750) from $235,000 to get $164,300.

Juan secures a fixed rate amortized 30-year loan for $295,000 at 4.25%. If his monthly P&I payment is $1,750, how much interest does he pay in the second month of the loan?

$1,042.29 In the first month, Juan pays $1,044.79 in interest ([$295,000 x .0425] ÷ 12) and paid the principal down $705.21 ($295,000 - [$1,750 - $1,044.79]). The next month, he pays $1,042.29 in interest ([$294,294.79 x .0425] ÷ 12). second month interest = second month payback - second month principle. second month pricile = first month priciple = first month payback -first month interes

On February 1, a seller paid $1,140 in annual property tax for the current calendar year. He sold the house with the closing set for April 1. What will be the seller's credit for the property taxes already paid if the buyer pays for the day of closing? Use a 360-day year and a 30-day month.

$288 Seller credit for property taxes: = Total tax × (Number of days/360) = $1,140 × (91/360) = $288 Hence, Credit is $288 You HAVE to add one more day the buyer pays and the seller gets a credit for it when it states Buyer's liability ( April 1 - December 31 ) = 1140 - 288 = $ 852

The Smithwicks, your buyer clients, obtained a 90% loan on their new $400,000 home. At closing, they paid $6,150 for points at closing. How many points did they pay?

1.71 A point is 1% of the loan amount. The Smithwicks' loan is $360,000 ($400,000 x .90), and they paid $6,150 for points at closing. Divide the cost in points by the loan amount to get the number of points they paid: ($6,150 ÷ 360,000 = 0.0170833, or 1.71).

The Gatlins' lender tells them they can afford a monthly payment of $1,830 on their new home loan. What interest rate are the Gatlins getting if this is an interest-only loan with a principal balance of $349,000?

6.29% Annual payment ÷ loan balance = interest rate. $1,830 x 12 to get the annual payment of $21,960. Then divide the annual payment by the loan amount: $21, 960 ÷ $349,000 = .0629, or 6.29%.

Your client Faye is buying a condo downtown for $565,000 and financing 60% of the purchase. Her lender is charging a one-point loan origination fee and two discount points. Can you help Faye calculate the dollar amount for points she's going to pay on her loan?

A point is 1% of the loan amount. Faye's loan amount is 60% of the sales price, or $339,000 ($565,000 x 0.60). Her lender is charging three points total, or 3% of the loan amount. That comes out to $10,170 ($339,000 x 0.03).

Sue is selling her house for $265,000. Closing is set for June 19, and Sue owns the day of closing. She has a loan balance of $78,000 at a 4.2% rate, and she's current on her payments. She prepaid the property taxes ($1,350) and insurance ($925). Using a calendar-year proration method for calculations, how will these amounts appear on Sue's closing statement?

Credit of $721.50 Tax daily rate: ($1,350 ÷ 365 = $3.70) 195 days (days from closing until year end) = a $721.50 seller credit. Any prepaid seller's homeowners insurance will be refunded to the seller outside closing, so this doesn't appear on the closing statements.

A real estate transaction has a closing date of May 20. The seller, who's responsible for closing costs up to but not including the day of settlement, has already paid annual property taxes of $1,949. Using calendar year proration, the seller will be ______ on the closing statement.

Credited $1,207 The seller is required to pay the for January 1 through May 19. The seller will be credited $1,207, because $1,949 ÷ 365 = $5.34, and $5.34 × 226 days (the number of days the buyer is required to pay) = $1,206.84. That's $1,207 if rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

First, multiply the monthly payment ($2,042.71) by the total number of payments (180 = 12 payments/year for 15 years). The total paid back is $367,687.80. Then subtract the original loan value: $367,687.80 ‒ $250,000 = $117,687.80.
