Solutions to Questions—Chapter 1 pn pn pn



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




Question 1-1 pn



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



Real property refers to the ownership rights associated with realty. Realty refers to land and all th
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ings permanently attached. Personal property refers to ownership rights associated with personal
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ty. Personalty are all things, tangible, intangible that are movable. This includes all things that ar
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



e not realty. pn pn




Question 1-2 pn



What is meant by an estate? pn pn pn pn pn



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



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



variety of legal factors affect the ownership rights associated with real estate. The economic ben
n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



efits expected by lenders, investors, and other parties in a real estate transaction are affected by t
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



hese legal factors. pn pn




Question 1-3 pn



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



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



state will depend on the amount of lease payments expected during the term of the lease plus the
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



value of the property when the lease terminates, and the original owner receives the reversionar
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



y interest. pn




Question 1-4 pn



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



Title records (sometimes referred to as deeds and conveyances records and/or real property reco
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



rds) are created and maintained usually at the county level. These records identify all properties
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



in a county, including location, present ownership and any liens or encumbrances affecting each
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



property. These records are critical to investors who want to identify the owner of specific tracts
n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



or land, existing buildings, etc. These records are also important because they contain evidence
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



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



e: a prospective investor sees a vacant tract of land that he is interested in purchasing. Because t
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



here is no signage or any improvements on the land, how can the land owner be identified and c
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ontacted? By going to the county records office (deeds and conveyancers department) the invest
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



or can use the address to locate a property (usually in plat books), then the current owner. These
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



records are used to link a precise property to its owner. At some point, if this investor continues t
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



o be interested in purchasing the land, he will likely retain an attorney or abstractor to do a title s
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



earch and abstract of title. The latter is done to not only

Question 1-5 pn



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



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



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



extent to which the seller warrants that he is the owner of the property and has the right to conve
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



y ownership. A deed is used to convey the title from one person (the grantor) to another (the reg
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



rantee) by means of a written instrument. The term ―title‖ is an abstract term frequently used to
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



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



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



wnership. Title establishes the quantity of rights in real estate being conveyed from seller to It di
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ffers from title because title provides evidence of ownership based on the collective records that
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



exist pertaining to a property.
pn pn pn pn




Question 1-6 pn



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



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



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



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



and are usually reviewed when trying to identify the ―quality‖ of title that investors will receive i
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



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



re complete, he will indicate that the seller has ownership and title to the property. Most of the i
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nstruments that affect title to real estate are recorded, in accordance with the recording acts of th
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



e various states, at what is typically called the county recorder’s office.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn




Question 1-7 pn



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



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



wnership can also occur at a later time, say after the current owner dies. The person who becom
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



es the owner at that time is said to be a ―remainder‖ estate. Future estates include a reversion a
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nd remainder. A reversion results in the state reverting back to the original possessor whereas the
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



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




Question 1-8 pn



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



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



General Warranty Deed - pn pn pn



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

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

Special Warranty Deed - pn pn pn
