Top Math Questions for the Florida Real Estate Exam
What are the top math questions for the Florida Real Estate Exam and how do you actually solve them? If math has been intimidating you from taking the next steps in your real estate career, don't let it! The math is only 10 questions on the exam, so you can still earn a 90% even if every single math question was wrong.
Now keep in mind these questions are multiple choice, and you don't get penalized for wrong answers, just no additional points. And the reality is, these 10 math questions can actually be some of the easiest and most predictable on the entire exam.
Join today's episode to learn how these can be 10 easy points to count on, and bring your calculator because you can use one on the exam! This is a continuation of last week's Florida Real Estate Math Part 1 Episode.
Real Estate Math Demystified
In this installment, we tackled several challenging yet vital math problems that every aspiring real estate professional needs to know:
- Commission Calculations: Understand how a $450,000 sale can translate into a $9,450 commission. We break down the math of total commission, office splits, and broker splits, illuminating how this leads many to consider a real estate career.
- Property Tax Prorations: With taxes being a common source of confusion, we simplify the process of determining taxes due. Following systematic steps can make this math repeatable and less intimidating, ensuring you're prepared for the exam.
- Rental Prorations: Learn how to calculate the fair share of prepaid rent owed to a buyer when ownership changes mid-month. We guide you through the process, emphasizing the importance of accurately counting buyer days.
- Transfer Taxes: Often known as "dock stamps," these taxes are a critical part of real estate transactions. We explain how to calculate taxes on deeds and notes, and distinguish between new and assumed loans.
The Power of Repetition
Repetition is key when it comes to mastering real estate math. By practicing these problems repeatedly, even those who find math daunting can gain confidence. Our approach ensures that the steps become second nature, much like riding a bike.
