A seller sold a property for $375,000, with the closing on July 1st, in a jurisdiction where the buyer pays for the day of closing. The seller had a mortgage balance at the time of closing of $301,000, and had recently paid invoices of $400 for the second quarter's water and electricity, $1,200 for new appliances, and roofing repairs of $700. Based only on these items, how much will the seller receive at closing?
Sale price = $375,000
Mortgage payoff = $301,000
Seller prepaid invoices (utilities, appliances, roof) are already paid and not reimbursable through closing unless agreed. They do not affect the closing statement.
Buyer pays closing day (July 1), so no adjustment required for that day.

A buyer wants to purchase a home for $400,000 with a 15% down payment. The lender charges 1.5 points. How much money does the buyer need up front to make the purchase?

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.
