Thank you for this! Out of all the info in the textbook I’m struggling the most with separating Truth in Lending from RESPA. Still a little fuzzy but this helped a lot.

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

You're welcome... it can be very confusing

[@donnabritten6822]

Lots of great information explained very well!

This is a such a detailed and knowledgeable tutorial! I have not seen so much info packed in 15 mins! Awesome stuff! Got a quick question, would the second lien become first lien when the original first lien's promissory note has been paid off, via mortgage release?

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Yes, once a lien in higher priority is removed then the lien next in line become senior

[@ericjones7362]

Up to 2 financing a year: They have to get a mortgage origination license OR/ AND a seller financer can choose a MLO to negotiate the loan terms (and can exceed more than 2 a year) and comply with Barney/ Franks law. Just to add this fact I've listened to your videos excellence in the making!

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

True but the licensing exam doesn't go that deep... it's all about the exam... :o) Thank you, AJ Home-Soultions for the comment I really appreciate it!

Great video! What about agents who have lenders who pay for half of their Zillow advertising costs? Appears to be a controlled business relationship, why is that not required to be disclosed?

Great point, Dave!

Hi there, on the exam, there is a question that says under what condition would the borrower be giving 3 additional days to review the closing documents? I think the options were, if the interest rate was different, if the appliances were removed and should have been left and a couple other options...

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Based on the information you've provided... and not knowing the other two potential answer the correct answer is a change in the interest rate.... Thanks for sharing!!!!! 😁

[@richelleirish7720]

What is the difference between #2(Prohibits choice of title insurance companies) and tie in arrangement? Because they sound somewhat similar. Are they the same thing or completely different? I'm a little confused.

[@jignasha4]

Great question... and I see I havnt done a video on assumption. I will do one. Thank you! ;o)

[@Haleyhart-x5j]

how is compensation from marketing and advertising arrangement legal? we have been saying all along that we weren't allowed to receive any money for referring anyone ? how would, a real estate agent receiving any money for the buyer going with a specific home inspector??

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Great question. It is legal for a broker or agent to sign a Marketing Service Agreement with a service provider such as a mortgage company, home inspector, etc. without it violating RESPA. There are strict guidelines to ensure it's compliant with the law. We don't address those requirements here as they won't be on your exam... at least the National side. You may have state specific laws you will need to know.

[@PerimeterPermaculture]

Exactly. It's literally "This is illegal, but if you do it you have to do it this way!" 😅

[@41antsmarching]

Quick Question: Are the: Closing Disclosure, RESPA_Settlement Statement, Closing Statement all the same thing? (I am in California if that helps) Thx!

[@jackieg5016]

Hello, I love your videos! I have learned so much! Got a question - What would happened, if the borrower receives the LE and CD forms one day before closing or the day of?

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Well technically, it requires 3 business days. The escrow closer and the lender is required to wait. Now, if it closes anyway, nothing is going to happen unless one of the parties files a complaint with the CFPB. Even then... I wouldn't hold my breath

[@dizzydiner]

Who is responsible to manage the escrow account on an annual basis? To insure the adjustments.

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

The escrow company will make annual adjustments. The account holder will either see an increase in their monthly payment (due to the adjustments or you'll get a refund if the account is holding too much money. Many times, the excrow compnay will give you an option of paying the shortage up front in a 1 time payment so your monthly mortgage payment does not increase or they will readjust your monthly payment. Thank you for the question!

[@euniceibeh2873]

Hi Paul, I tried to solve a math problem I found on PA real estate practice book, but was unable to do so. Please can you help out? Here it is: The sales person received $2800 commission on her 35% share of the total commission on the sale of a property that sold for $160,000. What was the commission rate? These are answer choices: A. 4.5%: B 5% : C 7% : D 10%. Will appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Step 1: $2,800 ÷ 35% (or 0.35) = $8,000 (total commission) Step 2: $8,000 ÷ $160,000 = 5% (or 0.05) 😁

[@erlindaengstrom3507]

Great question, was able to do the math. Been watching your classes.

[@Polyphilosher]

Loved this one🙏

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Thank you 😁

[@BrianTerrill]

Help me out wit this one, there are companies that offer themselves as "equity partners" who instead of giving a mortgage offer money to an applicant as an equity partner and they are paid back after so many years based on the growth in the equity of the house. In any event, I've had two solicit me a Mortgage Broker and offer me 2-2.5% "referral fee" for each client we send them. RESPA is my biggest concern, am I right to be concerned or not?

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

You are right to be concerned! A referral fee of any kind is a violation of RESPA

[@denisedavisiwrite4him]

I am a realtor and have started a credit repair business, which is separate from my real estate business. Should I have one of these forms to give to clients who choose to use me as their realtor after the completion of my credit repair services?

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Hi Denise... if you're referring to the Affiliated Business Arrangement the answer is yes if you're offering this service to them.

[@the_stixXx]

As always, great video and very informative. Thank you! I have two questions: 1. I routinely see, in broker remarks, the listing agent says all buyers need to be pre-approved by ABC lender. Is that illegal or allowed if they have some sort of agreement? 2. I just noticed that on my agencies website, the lender that we refer, has their logo at the bottom of one of our pages. I haven't discussed this with my broker but I assume they have some sort of agreement. Because that lender's logo is on the website does that mean they have formed some sort of agreement, and if so does a certain disclosure need to be attached to the website? * I don't know if there is an Affiliated Business Agreement in place, between my Broker and the Lender, and we/I refer said lender because, one, he is a long time friend, but also because they have routinely beat other lenders rates. I also refer him because I am always updated when milestones are reached and if there are any issues I am always aware. I am not compensated in any way, but I don't know about my broker.

Hi Paul, I had a question in the state asking about a client wanting to give an agent a bonus payment after closing for "doing such a great job for selling their home so quickly", is that legal, can that be done from a client to an agent or broker?

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

In most states, this would constitutes a license law violation. Make sure you check with your individual state laws

[@HobsNFaves]

@@TheRealEstateClassroom I have looked but I can't seem to find it. I am in Nebraska and hope you can help me with this since I know you are as well. Thank you for your amazing videos! You helped me pass my national and now focusing on the NE State portion.

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

@@HobsNFaves In Nebraska all commission which essentially means any thing of value exchanged tied to a real estate transaction MUST be paid directly to the broker UNLESS there is a written agreement between the seller and the broker to pay the salesperson or associate broker directly.

For the National Portion of the exam, yes.

@The Real Estate Classroom failed 4 times. This last time I received a 74. Exhausted 😩 with the Florida Broker's Exam.

@@driayoung710 Don't.... Give... Up... I just received an email from a California student that took it 7x before passing. It's not about how many times you take it it's about never giving up to reach your goal. I know an agent here in Omaha that took it 11x... he went on to be one of the top agents in our market. He now has a great big house and a fancy car. Everytime you fail it should motivate you to study more... keep me up-to-date on things please!

[@rachelsudhakaran4650]

"Federally related loans" would mean "unconventional loans" correct? :)

[@TheRealEstateClassroom]

Federal related loans are loans such as Federal Housing Administration loans (FHA), Veterans Affairs loans (VA), USDA, Rural Economic Development Loans. Loans that are either federally insured or guaranteed by the government. Conventional loans are not backed or guaranteed by the government

[@rachelsudhakaran4650]

@@TheRealEstateClassroom so unconventional loans are backed by the gov't so am I correct in answering my original question as "yes"? Thanks for all your help! :)
