Chapter 7 Homework
Lucinda Lacy purchased a house today for $103,000 by making a down payment of $11,000 and paying closing costs of:
• Loan origination fee 1% of purchase price
• Appraisal fee $300
• Survey fee 250
• Attorney's fee 350
• Processing fee 400
• Escrow fee 250
• Other miscellaneous costs 620
Lucinda has a mortgage loan with an interest rate of 7.5% APR, compounded monthly for 30 years. Her taxes and insurance are $292 per month. Lucinda has an estimate for a $12,000 firm, fixed price contract to remodel the house and this expense will be equally distributed over the period of her ownership. After remodeling, she estimates that she could sell the house for $138,000. Her selling expenses would be 7% sales commission plus $1000.
