CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE FINANCE COURSE
Welcome to the intriguing and exciting world of real estate finance. Prior to 2008, California real estate markets had been experiencing a huge surge in property values in an atmosphere of stability and growth. Based on relativity low-interest rates, controlled inflation, and stable employment, predictions were that this prosperity would continue at a steady pace. However, in 2009, national unemployment rates were near 10% and the national foreclosure rate was 10%.
In October 2008, Congress passed a rescue bill to ease the credit crunch that resulted when the real estate bubble of the early part of this century burst. The federal government has taken a leading role in shoring up the credit industry to allow the economy to adjust to a new era of stricter oversight and more responsible underwriting.
Do not let the title Real Estate Finance scare you. The State Exam has no math questions.
