SAMPLE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
APPROVED FOR:•12 HOURS CE CREDIT
The package includes the following courses:
•Fair Housing (Mandatory)
•Contracts, Purchase & Sales (Mandatory)
•Tax-Favorable Real Estate Transactions (Mandatory)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Fair Housing (Mandatory)
This course is designed to increase your knowledge of federal and state fair housing laws and related civil rights and anti-discrimination laws that affect real property transactions. All real estate licensees need to understand who is protected by the fair housing laws, what acts are prohibited by these, and how the fair housing laws are enforced. The more knowledgeable you are about fair housing, the less likely you will be to commit fair housing violations. Course topics covered in this course include transactions covered by the law, discrimination, HUD advertising guidelines, equal housing opportunity, the equal credit opportunity act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Contracts, Purchase & Sales (Mandatory)
Agreement is an essential component in the legal transference of ownership. In real estate, contracts are the instruments by which agreements are reached for the conveyance of property. Whether a salesperson is promising to sell a property within a specified period of time, a prospective buyer is placing an offer on a house or a seller is considering an offer on property, some type of contract is involved. In this Contracts course, the student learns about the types of general contracts as well as the different kinds of real estate contracts. The module begins by providing the student with an overview of the various types of contracts: bilateral, unilateral, implied, express, executed, executory, valid, void, voidable and unenforceable. Once the student is introduced to the different types of contracts, he or she learns what makes a contract legally enforceable, this being the five components that make a contract valid: mutual assent, legally competent parties, consideration, lawful objective and adherence to a statute of frauds. This course will introduce the student to two of the three factors that create a contract: offers and acceptances. When there is an offer and acceptance, the parties can either perform their respective parts of the contract or breach the contract by not fulfilling their obligations. Then we will discuss the third component of a legally binding and enforceable contract—performance. There are four basic types of contracts in real estate: sales contracts, option agreements, contract for deeds and leases; these types of contracts being those that deal in the governance of the real estate industry which, as a real estate professional, the student should be familiar with.
Tax-Favorable Real Estate Transactions (Mandatory)
The objective of this course is to teach real estate professionals how they can help their clients with the process of buying and selling property on a tax-favorable basis. In accordance with TREC rules Sections 535.71 and 535.72D, the first two lessons of the course seek to provide a method of real estate purchase using pretax dollars and of growing the estate within a qualified product. We will discuss the application of current tax advantages of using both qualified and non-qualified tax products such as IRAs, SEP IRA, 401k, Roth IRAs and charitable gift annuities. The use of these applications will provide the real estate professional with the opportunity to create a long standing and profitable relationship with his or her clients, as well as attracting a more sophisticated investor wishing to find an alternative to 1031 exchanges. The student will learn which properties qualify under Section 1031 and how to use the various types of 1031 exchanges to enhance the client's position in the investment real estate market. The concluding lesson in this module presents real-world dilemmas and concrete applications of the information presented in the rest of the course. As the student completes this module, he or she should try to develop a broad picture of tax-favorable real estate transactions and how they fit into the larger practice of real estate. The last lesson will help with this project by presenting comprehensive content questions, practice problems and case studies.
