In many states, usury laws:
Usury laws are designed to protect borrowers from being charged excessively high interest rates.
These laws set the maximum legal interest rate that lenders may charge.
The other options (land use, easements, and sales tax) are unrelated to usury laws.
Correct answer: D.
To avoid triggering full disclosure under TILA when advertising financing availability on a listed property, which of the following statements must a real estate licensee avoid using?
Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z), advertising is regulated to prevent misleading credit offers.
If an ad uses ''triggering terms'' (such as monthly payment amount, interest rate, down payment, or loan term), then full disclosure of all financing terms must be provided.
''Buy for less than $650 per month'' is a triggering term because it specifies a monthly payment.
General terms like ''assumable loan,'' ''owner financing,'' or ''FHA/VA available'' are permissible without full disclosure.
Correct answer = D.
A buyer made an offer to purchase a home using a VA loan, but the property's appraised value was determined to be less than the contract price. If the buyer really wants the property, which of the following choices is the buyer's best option?
VA loans include an escape clause: buyers cannot be forced to purchase a home for more than its appraised value. However, if the buyer still wants the property, they can:
Pay the contract price, but must cover any amount above the VA appraised value in cash, since the VA will only guarantee the appraised portion.
Sellers are not forced to lower their price to the appraisal amount.
An FHA loan will not automatically cover the shortfall.
Thus, the best option is B.
A public utility company is installing power lines across several counties. Will the utility company be more likely to be granted an easement appurtenant or an easement in gross?
An easement in gross benefits a person or entity, rather than another parcel of land. Unlike an easement appurtenant, which requires a dominant and servient estate (two adjoining parcels), an easement in gross does not require ownership of adjacent property.
Utility companies (electric, gas, water, sewer, cable) typically hold easements in gross, allowing them to install and maintain lines across multiple properties. The easement is granted to the utility company, not to a neighboring landowner.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
The primary intent of the statute of frauds is to:
The Statute of Frauds (as adopted in New Jersey) requires that certain contracts be in writing to be enforceable, including:
Contracts for the sale of real estate.
Leases longer than 3 years.
Certain other long-term agreements.
Its purpose is to prevent fraud and misunderstandings by requiring written evidence of important contracts.
