Jackie obtains a 60% LTV loan on her new $250,000 home with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. What is the first month’s interest payment?
$250,000 x 0.60 = $150,000 loan, $150,000 x 0.055 = $8,250, $8,250 ÷ 12 = $688
Laura obtains a new loan @ 67% of her home’s price of $300,000. The loan constant is 6.321. What is Laura’s monthly payment?
$300,000 ÷ 1000 = $300, $300 x 6.321 = $1,896, $1,896 x 0.67 = $1,270
Price / 1000 = A
A X Constant = B
B X Rate = Monthly Payment

A property sells for $180,000 one year after it was purchased. If the annual appreciation rate is 10%, how much did the original buyer pay for it?
The selling price is 110% of the purchase price. Therefore, the purchase price is the selling price divided by 1.1 (110%). $180,000 / 1.1 = $163,636.
A homeowner paid $185,000 for a house three years ago. The house sells today for $239,000. By what percent has the property appreciated?
Appreciation as a per cent can be estimated by (1) subtracting the estimated current market value from the price originally paid (239,000 - 185,000 = 54,000) and (2) dividing the result by the original price (54,000 / 185,000 = 29) or 29%.
An office building has $300,000 net income and sold for $4,800,000. What was the rate of return?

Yvonne bought a home in Biltmore Estates 3 years ago for $250,000. She obtained an 80% loan. Over the past three years, the total appreciation rate has been 18%, and she has paid down her loan by $4,000. What is Yvonne’s equity after this period?
Equity = Market value – loan balance. Her loan was .8 x $250,000, or $200,000. Her initial equity was 20% x $250,000, or $50,000. The home has appreciated 18%, or (.18 x $250,000), or 45,000. Plus she has paid down her loan $4,000. Her equity is therefore ($295,000 market value – 196,000 loan), or $99,000.
Using the terms Potential Gross Income, Vacancy, Other Income, Operating Expenses, and Gross Operating Income, express the equation for Net Operating Income.
(Potential Gross Income - Vacancy) + Other Income = Gross Operating Income
Gross Operating Income - Operating Expenses = Net Operating Income (NOI)
Describe the difference between NOI and cash flow.
Cash flow is net operating income minus debt service. If there is no loan the two are the same.
An apartment building was purchased for $500,000, with the land value estimated to be $100,000. The owner added a $100,000 parking lot. The property was depreciated on a 40-year schedule (for present purposes!). Three years later the property sold for $700,000, and selling costs were $50,000. What was the capital gain?
Tip: work example backwards from last formula to first formula.
depreciable basis = $500,000 purchase price + 100,000 parking lot - 100,000 land = $500,000
total depreciation = ($500,000 ÷ 40 years) x 3 years = $37,500
adjusted basis = $500,000 purchase price + 100,000 parking lot - 37,500 total depreciation = $562,500
amount realized = $700,000 sale price - 50,000 selling costs = $650,000
capital gain = $650,000 amount realized - 562,500 adjusted basis = $87,500
An office building has NOI of $200,000, an annual reserve expense of $20,000, interest expense of $130,000 and annual depreciation of $50,000. Assuming a 28% tax bracket, what is its income tax liability?
Tax liability = ($200,000 + $20,000 - $130,000 - $50,000) x 28% = $11,200
An investor sold a property for $3 million and incurred $300,000 in selling costs. He originally paid $2.4 million 3 years ago and has depreciation expense totaling $150,000. What was his capital gain?
Capital gain = Take the purchase price ($2.4 million) - depreciation ($150,000) which equals the adjusted basis ($2.25 million). Amount realized = selling price ($3 million) - selling cost ($300,000) which equals $2.7 million. Finally, you take the amount realized ($2.7 million) - adjusted basis ($2.25 million) which equals capital gain ($450,000).
Mary Bright bought a home for $120,000, paying $24,000 down and taking a mortgage loan of $96,000. The following year she had a new roof put on, at a cost of $5,000. What is Mary’s adjusted basis in the house if she now sells the house for $150,000?
The basic formula for adjusted basis is: Beginning Basis + Capital Improvements - Exclusions and Credits = Adjusted Basis. Mary’s adjusted basis is therefore $120,000 + $5,000 = $125,000. The financing terms and subsequent selling price are not relevant.
An investor pays $300,000 for a property, $50,000 of which is land, puts $50,000 capital improvements into it, and borrows $250,000 to finance the property. What is the property’s depreciable basis?
$300,000 cost minus $50,000 land plus $50,000 capital improvements, or $300,000. The loan is irrelevant.
A principal residence is bought for $180,000. A new porch is added, costing $7,000. Five years later the home sells for $220,000, and the closing costs $18,000. What is the homeowner’s capital gain?
Gain = amount realized ($220,000 - $18,000) - adjusted basis ($180,000 + $7,000) = $15,000.
An income property has a net income of $20,000, interest expense of $12,000, cost recovery (depreciation) of $3,000, and a tax rate of 28%. What is its income tax liability?

Marcos Pizza has a percentage lease on its 1,500 SF space in the Ashwood Center. The terms are $1.25 / SF / month rent plus 2% of the store’s gross income. If monthly sales averaged $35,000 last year, how much annual rent did Marcos Pizza pay last year?
Their fixed rent is (1,500 SF x $1.25/SF) x 12 months, or $22,500. The percentage rent is ($35,000 x .02) x 12, or $8,400. Total rent is ($22,500 + $8,400), or $30,900.
A tax rate on a house with a $300,000 taxable value is 11 mills per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. What is the tax?

The village of Parrish has an annual budget requirement of $20,000,000 to be funded by property taxes. Assessed valuations are $400,000,000, and exemptions total $25,000,000. What must the tax rate be to finance the budget?
The rate = budget / tax base. Thus, $20,000,000 / ( $400,000,000 – $25,000,000) = 5.33%
A $300,000 property sells at a 7% commission with a 50-50 co-brokerage split and a 60% agent split with her broker. What are total, co-brokerage, agent’s, and broker’s commissions?
Total commission = $300,000 x .07 = $21,000
Co-brokerage splits = $300,000 x .07 x .50 = $10,500
Agent split = $10,500 x .60 = $6,300
Agent’s broker’s split = $10,500 - 6,300 = $4,200
A home seller wants to net $50,000. The commission is 7%, the loan payoff is $150,000, and closing costs are $4,000. What must the minimum contract price be?
Add up the desired seller’s net, the loan payoff and the closing cost: $50,000 + 150,000 + $4,000 = $204,000 seller’s gross profit
Since the seller has agreed to a 7% sales commission, that means he will get to keep 93%, which is 0.93 as a decimal.
Divide seller’s gross profit by seller’s %: $204,000 ÷ .93 = $219,354.83
So, the very minimum amount that the seller can list his house at and still cover his expenses and make his desired profit is $219,354.83.
A homeseller wants to net $75,000. The commission is 9%, the loan payoff is $450,000, and closing costs are $36,000. What must the price be (to the nearest $100)?

Monthly amount = ($1,800 ÷ 12) = $150; no. of months = 3
Daily amount = ($150 ÷ 30) = $5.00; no. of days = 10
Proration = ($150 x 3) + ($5 x 10) = ($450 + $50) = $500 seller’s share
365-day Method
An annual tax bill is $1,800. Closing is on April 10. What is the seller’s share of the taxes?
Daily amount = ($1,800 ÷ 365) = $4.93
Jan 1 thru April 10 = (31 + 28 + 31 + 10) days, or 100 days
Proration = $4.93 x 100 days = $493 seller’s share

A farmer wants to net at least $10,000/acre on the sale of his 80-acre property. If he allows for a total of 10% for commissions and closing costs, what should his listing price be per acre? Assume the farmer has no mortgage.
(Desired net + closing costs) / (1 = commission rate) = sale price, so $10,000 desired net / (1 - .10 commission rate =) .90 = $11,111 sale price per acre.
An investor paid $43,000 for a lot and $520,000 to have a strip mall constructed on it. He has depreciated the property for the past 15 years on a 39-year straight-line schedule. If he sells the property this year and realizes $710,000 after closing expenses, what is his capital gain?
Depreciable basis/depreciation term x number years = total depreciation. Depreciable basis - total depreciation = adjusted basis. Amount realized = adjusted basis = capital gain. So, 520,000 depreciable basis / 39 term = $13,333.33 x 15 years = $200,000 total depreciation. $520,000 - $200,000 = $320,000 adjusted basis. $320,000 plus land of $43,000 = $363,000. $710,000 amount realized - $363,000 = $347,000. Depreciation ( basis) : $520,000 + $43,000= 563,000-$43,000=$520,000. Note: Land does not depreciate for accounting purposes, that’s why it is removed from the depreciated basis and added to the adjusted basis. The adjusted basis is the full investment in the project. Total Depreciation: $520,000*39= $13,333.33 x 15 years = $200,000. Adjusted basis: $520,000+$43,000 (beginning basis or original investment) -$200,000=$363,000. Amount realized= 710,000 (sold). Capital gain: $347,000
