Question 9

Rebecca needs to know that at least $112,000 from the sale of her house. It’s sold for $124,500 and her broker received an 8% commission. Assuming all other closing expenses were $1500, did Rebecca make her necessary Seller’s share?

Use T Math

Answer 9

$124,500 x8% (.08) gives you the brokers commission = $9,960
124,500 - brokers commission ($9,960)
= $114,540
-$1,500 for closing expenses
Gives us $113,040.
$1,040 above what was needed to make the sellers share!

Question 19

Lester steeple monthly income is $6800. Having money pays: $485 car payment, $200 revolving credit payment, and $1500 alimony. Using ratios of 29% and 41%, what is the maximum monthly mortgage payment he would qualify on FHA mortgage loan?

Answer 19

$603.

Using the payment to income ratio of 29% for an FHA loan, we get $1972. (before debts) (6800 X 29% =$1972.

But using the total debt service ratio of 41% for this loan, we find: $6800 (income) multiplied by 0.41, which equals $2788(before debts). Then you subtract monthly debts
485+200+1500= $2185 - 2788 = $603
