hypothecation - Answer -Borrower is legal owner and has the right to possess and
control the property; lender has the right to foreclose after a loan default.
pledge - Answer -A pledge is different from hypothecation in that the owner actually
surrenders possession of the property to a lender to hold as security for a debt
repayment.
leverage - Answer -leverage, which is using various financial instruments or borrowed
funds to purchase and/or increase a property's (or other asset's) potential return.
Leverage comes into play with real property financing when borrowers put down a
percentage of their own money (the down payment) in order to purchase a property of
which they can use, enjoy, and control 100%. Real estate investors are highly interested
in leverage. If an investor puts 10% down on a property worth $350,000 ($35,000) and
that property appreciates 20% over six years, the investor earns 20% on the entire
$350,000 value, not just on the initial $35,000 invested.
,Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 - Answer -exempted homeowners from paying taxes on
capital gains up to $500,000 for married couples filing their income taxes jointly
($250,000 for individuals), provided the property was their primary residence and they
lived there for two out of the previous five years. TRA '97 eliminated some previous
requirements to obtain the exemption, making it easier for homeowners to claim the
exemption. Essentially, the act relieved some of the tax burden homeowners may have
been subject to when selling their home, potentially making homeowners more willing to
sell their home and make a new home purchase.
