An Introduction to Real estate Investment: Legal Concepts
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf




Question 1-1 mf



What is the difference between real property and personal property?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Real property refers to the ownership rights associated with realty. Realty refers to land and all t
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



hings permanently attached. Personal property refers to ownership rights associated with perso

nalty. Personalty are all things, tangible, intangible that are movable. This includes all things th
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



at are not realty.

Question 1-2 mf



What is meant by an estate? mf mf mf mf mf



Estate is used to denote a possessory or potentially possessory interest in real estate. However, n
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ot all interests in real property are estates. Ownership can be quite different from possession and

a variety of legal factors affect the ownership rights associated with real estate. The economic b

enefits expected by lenders, investors, and other parties in a real estate transaction are affected b
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



y these legal factors.
mf mf mf




Question 1-3 mf



How can a leased fee estate have a value that could be transferred to another party?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



The original fee owner can give up some property rights to a lessee. The value of the leased fee
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



estate will depend on the amount of lease payments expected during the term of the lease plus t
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



he value of the property when the lease terminates, and the original owner receives the reversio
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



nary interest. mf




Question 1-4 mf



What are title records? What is an abstract of title?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Title records (sometimes referred to as deeds and conveyances records and/or real property rec
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ords) are created and maintained usually at the county level. These records identify all properti
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



es in a county, including location, present ownership and any liens or encumbrances affecting e
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ach property. These records are critical to investors who want to identify the owner of specific t
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



racts or land, existing buildings, etc. These records are also important because they contain evi
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



dence of encumbrances such as mortgage liens, tax liens (to be covered in later chapters), etc.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Example: a prospective investor sees a vacant tract of land that he is interested in purchasing.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Because there is no signage or any improvements on the land, how can the land owner be ident
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ified and contacted? By going to the county records office (deeds and conveyancers department
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



) the investor can use the address to locate a property (usually in plat books), then the current o

wner. These records are used to link a precise property to its owner. At some point, if this inves

tor continues to be interested in purchasing the land, he will likely retain an attorney or abstract

Question 1-5 mf



What is a deed? How is it different from the title?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



The deed is a document usually created by the owner of a property containing the property legal
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



I.D. and location in addition to any improvements that exist on the property. It also describes th
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



e extent to which the seller warrants that he is the owner of the property and has the right to co
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



nvey ownership. A deed is used to convey the title from one person (the grantor) to another (th
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



e regrantee) by means of a written instrument. The term ―title‖ is an abstract term frequently u
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



sed to link an individual or entity who owns property to the property itself. When a person has
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



―title,‖ he is said to have all the elements, including the documents, records, and acts, that prove
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ownership. Title establishes the quantity of rights in real estate being conveyed from seller to It
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



differs from title because title provides evidence of ownership based on the collective records t
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



hat exist pertaining to a property.
mf mf mf mf mf




Question 1-6 mf



What is meant by a title record? Why are these records so important?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



The title record refers to records on file, usually at the county level, that help to specify tracts of
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



real estate and determine if a seller has the right to convey ownership of such real property.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



These records are the most important sources of events affecting real estate ownership over time
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



and are usually reviewed when trying to identify the ―quality‖ of title that investors will receiv
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



e if they purchase. After a review of these records (usually by an attorney), if in his opinion, th
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ey are complete, he will indicate that the seller has ownership and title to the property. Most of
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf m



the instruments that affect title to real estate are recorded, in accordance with the recording act
f mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



s of the various states, at what is typically called the county recorder’s office.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf




Question 1-7 mf



What is a future estate? Give an example?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



We think of most real estate transactions as acquiring ownership at the present time. However,
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



ownership can also occur at a later time, say after the current owner dies. The person who beco
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



mes the owner at that time is said to be a ―remainder‖ estate. Future estates include a reversio
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



n and remainder. A reversion results in the state reverting back to the original possessor wherea
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



s the remainder results in a third-party obtaining possession at some point in the future.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf




Question 1-8 mf



Name the three general methods of title assurance and briefly describe each. Which would you r

ecommend to a friend purchasing real estate? Why? mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



General Warranty Deed - mf mf mf



the grantor warrants that the title he/she conveys to the property is free and clear of all encumbr

ances, other than those that are specifically listed in the deed.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Special Warranty Deed - mf mf mf



makes the same warranties as a general warranty deed except that it limits their application to
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



defects and encumbrances which occurred only while the grantor held title to the property.
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



Quitclaim Deed - mf mf

Would it be legal for you to give a quitclaim deed for the Statue of Liberty to your friend? Y

Question 2-1 mf



Distinguish between a mortgage and a note. mf mf mf mf mf mf



A note admits the debt and generally makes the borrower personally liable for the obligation. A

mortgage is usually a separate document which pledges the designated property as security for

Question 2-2 mf



What does it mean when a lender accelerates on a note? What is meant by forbearance?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



The acceleration clause gives the lender the right or option to demand the loan balance owed if

a default occurs. Forbearance by the lender allows the borrower time to cure a deficiency witho

Question 2-3 mf



Can borrowers pay off, part or all, of loans anytime that they desire?
mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf mf



No. In general, prepayment is a privilege not a right. In cases of residential/consumer loans made

by federally related lenders, this option is usually provided to borrowers. In commercial real est

Question 2-4 mf



What does non-recourse financing mean?
