A

AOI = LA x I x N,

Add-on interest = loan amount x interest rate x number of payments.

  1. Calculate AOI.
  2. Add the interest amount to the total loan amount.

Q

AOI Example

A

Loan of $2,250 at 7 percent for 1 year.

  1. $2,250 loan amount x 7% interest x 1 (number of years);
  2. $2,250 + $157.50 = $2,407.50

Q

Add on Rate APR Example

A

Loan of $2,250 at 7 percent for 1 year.
I = 157.50 (total financing charges)

2 x 12 x $157.50 ÷ ($2,250 (12 + 1) = APR
$3,780 ÷ ($2,250 x 13) = APR
$3,780 ÷ $29,250 = 12.9 percent

22
Q

Schedule of monthly payments

  1. amount of loan
  2. term
  3. interest rate
24

Buyer’s monthly debt obligations

Formula = total monthly debt ÷ gross monthly income.

Conventional loans = 36% or less
FHA = 43% or less

26
Q

27
Q

Price per square foot

A

=Sales price of home ÷ area

Example: A parcel of land that is 150’ wide and 100 feet deep and sold for $140,000.

150 X 100 = 15,000 square feet
$140,000 ÷ 15,000 = $9.34 per square foot

33
Q

The 12 month/30 day method

A

calculates the amounts due based on a 360-day year and a 30-day month. The steps of this method are as follows.

  1. Identify an item and the amount needing to be prorated.
  2. Divide by 12 to get the monthly rate.
  3. Divide by 30 to get a daily rate. (Day of closing is seller’s responsibility)
  4. Multiply the monthly rate by the number of months the seller owned the property before closing to get the months-amount due.
  5. Multiply the daily rate by the number of days the seller owned the property in the closing month to get the amount due for the closing month.
  6. Add the two amounts to get the prorated amount for the seller.
  7. Subtract the seller’s prorated amount from the starting amount to get the buyer’s prorated amount.
34
Q

365-day method

A
  1. Identify an item and the amount needing to be prorated.
  2. Divide by 365 to get the daily rate. (Divide by 366 in a leap year.)
  3. Multiply the daily rate by the number of days the seller owned the property before closing to get the seller’s share.
  4. Subtract the seller’s prorated amount from the starting amount to get the buyer’s prorated amount.
35
Q

Rent example, paid in advance

A

A closing is set for March 23, and the tenant’s rent is $950 per month. The seller owns the day of closing. How much rent credit does the buyer receive using the 365-day method?

  1. The number of seller days is 23.
  2. The daily rent amount is ($950 ÷ 31) or $30.6452
  3. The proration amount is $704.84 ($30.6452 x 23)
  4. $950-$704.84 = $245.16.

Credit the buyer and debit the seller $245.16.

36
Q

Utility example, paid in arrears

A

Sellers owes that $, but buyer pays a portion of the seller’s bill since bill comes at month end.

Power bill $350 in the month of closing, closing is set for February 16th, the seller owns the day of closing, and the 365-day method is used. The proration will be as follows:

Seller days = 16
Daily cost = $350 ÷ 28 = $12.50
Total proration amount = $12.50 x 16 days = $200

Debit the seller and credit the buyer $200

37
Q

Buyer’s loan interest example

A

Seller is not related to this transaction.

Buyer’s new loan is for $200,000 at 5% interest and the day of closing is August 20th. The interest charge will be for the period between closing and the end of the month. If the buyer owns the day of closing, and the method to be used is the 360-day method, how much interest does the buyer owe?

The number of buyer days is 11 (remember, count them with your fingers!)

Daily interest charge is
$200,000 x .05 = $10,000 interest per year
$10,000 ÷ 360 = $27.78 interest per day
$27.78 daily interest x 11 days = $305.58 interest charge to buyer. CREDIT buyer.

38
Q
