About this course

Real estate exam math practice for the math questions on US-style real estate license exams, in graded spreadsheet labs instead of flash cards, for pre-licensing students and new agents. You split commissions between the co-op broker, the brokerage and the agent and solve for the sale price, measure irregular lots in square feet and acres and use the government survey system, turn market value into assessed value and a tax bill with mill rates, prorate taxes, rent and HOA dues with the 365-day and 360-day methods, compute LTV, the monthly payment and the cost of discount points, check front-end and back-end qualifying ratios, value a house with the three appraisal approaches and screen rentals by cap rate, GRM and cash-on-cash return. Independent practice, not affiliated with any state commission or exam provider. Rules vary, so check your state's rules. The first lab is free.
