REAL ESTATE U FINAL EXAM AND FINAL PRACTICE EXAMLATEST ACTUAL EXAM
Amy is looking to obtain a loan to purchase a new house. Her monthly mortgage
payment (PITI) will be $3,650 per month. Amy's gross monthly income (her salary) is
$12,000 per month. The lender requires a front-end ratio of no more than 32%. Will
Amy qualify for a loan? - ANSWER: The answer is Yes because Amy's front-end ratio
equals $3,650 / $12,000 = 0.304 or 30%.In other words, Amy's total monthly housing
expense equals 30% of her gross monthly income, which is less than the lender's
requirement of 32%. Lenders typically look for a borrower to have a maximum front-
end ratio of 28-32%.
John is applying for a new mortgage. After submitting all of his financials to the
lender, the lender calculates that John's total monthly debt obligations (mortgage,
car loan, and student loans) will equal $5,640 per month. John's gross monthly
income (his salary) equals $13,000 per month. Assuming the lender requires a
maximum debt-to-income ratio of 42%, will John qualify for the mortgage? -
ANSWER: The answer is No because John's debt-to-income ratio equals $5,640 /
$13,000 = 0.439 or 43.9%. Since his debt-to-income ratio exceeds the lender's
requirement of 42% John cannot qualify for the loan. Lenders typically look for a
borrower to have a maximum back-end-ratio of 36-43%.
CMA: The subject property has three bedrooms. Comp #2 has two bedrooms.Based
on the broker's analysis, a bedroom in this neighborhood is worth $6,000. The
subject property also has an attached garage, while Comp #2 has a detached
garage.The attached garage adds $2,000 in value. Comp #2 has a pool, while the
subject property does not. A pool is worth around $4,000. If Comp #2 sold for
$280,000, what should be the value of the subject property? - ANSWER: To find the
answer, we need to adjust the sales price of Comp #2 based on the superior and
inferior features of the subject property. You have to adjust the sales price of the
comparable property up or down based on superior and/or inferior features of the
subject property. If the subject property is superior, then add value to the sales price
of the comp.
If the subject property is inferior, then subtract value from the sales price of the
comp.
The subject property is more valuable than Comp #2 by $6,000 for the extra
bedroom and $2,000 for the attached garage. However, the subject property is less
valuable than Comp #2 by $4,000 for the pool.
Therefore, the value of the subject property equals $280,000 + $6,000 + $2,000 -
$4,000 = $284,000

will not return the earnest deposit since the buyer has reneged on his word. In fact,
the seller demands that the listing agent give him the deposit. What must the real
estate agent do regarding the earnest money in this situation? - ANSWER: He must
retain the deposit in the trust account until he obtains written permission from the
buyer and seller or await a court order.
