Choose four terms or concepts that might be used during a Real Estate closing. These terms must be connected in some way to the closing. Write a APA-formatted research paper
Explaining the meaning of each term,
Why it is important,
List any important issues and concerns or advantages and disadvantages that might occur.
Discuss who these terms affect and who is responsible; e.g., buyer, seller, agent, lender, closing agent, etc.
The Real Estate terms used should illustrate the current terminology used in closings.
Some examples of such terms include Closing Disclosure, escrow closing, deed, note, mortgage, marketable title, title search, binder, deed of trust, warranty and other types of deeds, closing costs and seller contributions, prorated/prepaid expenses, transfer tax, or any other terms directly related to closing.
The paper must contain
A title page, using APA 7th Edition Student formatting as outlined at the APUS Library or Purdue OWL. (Note: Student papers use page numbers in the upper-right corner, NOT Running Headers)
An Executive Summary- (On a separate page, placed between the title page and the main paper). Businesses do not use Abstracts.
An Executive Summary is a summary of the most important content in your report. They are written for upper management, so the manager can review your ideas and plan.
The way I write an Executive Summary is to go to each paragraph, make a note of the most important point, and then take those notes and write my summary from them. You are summarizing your analysis for the manager. Do not just write a list of sentences that you have taken from your paper. For the papers in this class, an Executive Summary will be about one-half to a page and a half long.
The body of the paper must contain
The title of the paper, centered above the introductory paragraph and bolded.
An introductory paragraph (Do NOT label it Introduction. See the sample student APA paper at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html).
The discussion and analysis of your research, using APA headings and citations where needed,
A separate reference page formatted in APA style- (On a separate page). ***If you do not have citations for your references, you will not receive credit for the research.
