situation that involves a balloon payment, the

the owner, then the loans are exempt from balloon payments, IF the
loan term is less than 3 years.Threshold Reporting is the
requirement to report annual and quarterly loan activities (review
of trust fund) to the California BRE, IF, within the past 12 months,
a broker has negotiated any combination of 10 or more loans to a
subdivision OR a total of more than $1,000,000.00 in loans.

In 2013, Jack and Shirley Wright moved from Riverside, in
Southern California, up to Santa Clara, in Northern California,
when Jack's company opened a new branch office there. They
decided to rent for a while so they could get to know the area before
buying a home. Three weeks ago, they finally found and put a
contract on a lovely 3-bedroom ranch, and the sellers accepted the
first offer. They took that as a good sign, but now it's only 5 days
until the close of escrow and they still haven't signed the escrow
papers yet. In fact, they aren't due to sign the escrow papers until
the day before the actual close of escrow. The Wrights are under the
impression that something is wrong, because when they sold their
last home, the escrow instructions had to be signed by both parties
to the transaction immediately after they all signed the purchase
agreement--about 60 days ahead of the actual close of escrow date.
Which of th - Correct Answer-The escrow practices in Southern
California differ from those in Northern California. In Southern
California, the escrow instructions are signed by the buyer and
seller shortly after they've signed the purchase agreement, just after
Vendarsol
, the start of escrow, which is about 60 days prior to the actual close
of escrow. In Northern California, the escrow instructions are
usually not signed until one or two days just before the close of
escrow.

Co-authors and sisters, Mary and Perry Corrigan, have just written
their fourth bestseller, even though Mary lives on the East Coast,
while Perry resides in Calistoga. When the home next door to Perry
is sold, Perry buys it and then gift deeds it to her sister so that they
can live side-by-side for the several months of the year they spend
writing together. In this situation, what consideration is necessary
for this deed to be considered valid and legal? - Correct Answer-
Love and affection is the only consideration necessary.
A Gift deed here refers to the transfer of ownership
of a property between relatives without an
exchange of money.
Consideration is an object of value each party
involved in a contract, in this case, a transfer of
deed, brings to the contract. In a situation where
money is exchanged for a property, the
considerations are the money and the property.
However, love and affection can also be a form of
consideration, referred to as good consideration.
This kind of consideration is valid between relatives
and is also used to donate to charities.
