South Carolina Fundamentals of Mortgage Lending
This course provides an introduction to the basics of mortgage lending, from qualifying the borrower and qualifying the property in the underwriting process, to the various types of financing available, to closing the sale. The course begins with a discussion of the forces that control the market: supply, demand and the government. The student will learn the varied methods of real estate finance. Lenders run risks in making real estate loans; for this reason, they must have a firm grasp of a borrower’s financial qualifications. They consider a borrower’s income, credit, debt, source of funds and net worth. However, no analysis, no matter how thorough, of a borrower’s creditworthiness can be enough to make a loan free of risk. The second lesson introduces the different legislation related to real estate mortgage of which the student must have a fair knowledge. The third lesson describes the mortgage market and the way it is divided into primary and secondary lenders.
The student will learn how title, the abstract ownership rights to the property, is transferred to the buyer with a deed. The earnest money contract will also be discussed: terms of the contract, contingencies and earnest money deposits. In lesson five, the focus turns to closing. The student will learn the customary costs involved in a real estate transaction, how certain items are prorated between the buyer and the seller and the requirements set forth by the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA).
Lesson six discusses foreclosure. It considers what happens when a borrower is in default of the mortgage contract and how lenders may help borrowers prevent foreclosure through forbearance, moratoriums and recasting. Also discussed is how, when these techniques fail, the property is foreclosed and sold at auction and how the creditors are repaid.
The module continues with the types of mortgages available. The seventh and eighth lesson discuss the elements of conventional loans—conforming and nonconforming—adjustable rate, graduated payment, growth equity and reverse annuity mortgages, to name a few. The advantages and disadvantages of each type of financing are emphasized so that the student may better understand the decision-making process inherent in real estate finance.
Two specific types of financing, FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans are reserved for separate lessons. FHA loans are insured by the government and perceived as less risky by lenders. They are available to all natural and naturalized U. S. citizens, but they carry a monthly insurance premium that cannot be canceled. VA loans are guaranteed in part by the government, but are only available to veterans, active servicemen and certain national guardspersons and special reservists.
At the end of each lesson, the student will be asked to complete a quiz that tests the information covered in that lesson in order to move on to the next lesson. The course ends with a real world practice lesson that brings together the concepts and material discussed throughout the entire course.

Retirement Communities May Benefit From Economic Downturn
Thursday, April 16, 2009 -
PARSIPPANY, NJ – According to a recent national survey of Coldwell Banker® real estate professionals, over half of those who work in popular retirement areas are seeing younger retirees (ages 60 and under) looking to purchase homes in their markets.
Furthermore, 43 percent of all the sales associates and brokers surveyed believe market and economic conditions may cause an increase in demand for retiree homes in their areas throughout the next year.
“Over the past couple of years, home prices have declined significantly in the majority of markets with traditional appeal to retirees,” said Jim Gillespie, president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “Younger retirees are taking advantage of these desirable prices and turning the economic downturn into an opportunity.”
While the survey indicates that this is emerging trend across the country, driving factors seem to vary regionally. For example, anecdotal feedback from Coldwell Banker real estate professionals in South Florida finds pre-retirees taking real estate-related steps now to support longer-term goals. “Many individuals not yet ready to retire are purchasing these homes and leasing them until they are prepared to move permanently,” said Elaine Harari of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Bay Harbor Islands, Fla.
In desirable areas with low property taxes, such as northeast Arkansas, it’s more common for younger retirees to move from more expensive cities; some even taking jobs for which they can telecommute to save money. Additionally, Coldwell Banker professionals in Michigan note that some retirement communities are experiencing an influx of former automobile company employees who have received early retirement packages.
Andrew Brearley, president of Coldwell Banker First Affiliate in Sedona, Ariz. reports a recent increase in sales volume. “Lifestyle is certainly the reason why so many choose to move to Sedona. We have 360 days of sunshine. With the 30 percent price corrections we have experienced, many individuals who are at or near retirement are realizing this is a great opportunity for them. Some buyers who have lost their jobs, taken retirement packages or sold their businesses are moving up their plans for retirement and taking advantage of the low mortgage rates and home prices. Others, who are already here, are moving up.”
The Coldwell Banker real estate professionals surveyed offered their perspectives on the top reasons retirees are buying or selling homes, and 33 percent said the No. 1 reason retirees are moving right now is to live closer to their families. Interestingly, 12 percent cited improvements in housing conditions, such as buyer-friendly home prices and interest rates, as the key drivers.
Other results from the overall survey include:
53 percent of Coldwell Banker real estate professionals have observed an increase in retirees who plan to downsize from their primary residences into smaller properties.
37 percent are seeing an increased number of retirees who own more than one property sell their primary residences to move to their secondary homes.
23 percent are seeing more people buy different homes for retirement, or move into their previously purchased retirement properties earlier than expected.
