John and Heidi Show. Very excited to have Brent Baker joining us once again
with a little real estate update. And we recently started going through a list
of realator terms and things that maybe you'll hear a realtor talk to you about.
And you're going, what in the world do these things mean? And
what is the next term on our list? Here, Brent deed our first
letter D. So this is what is like a title on a car in
South Dakota. We are a titled state. It's called a deed. And
so that is what's transferring. And that's that's basically a piece of paper explaining
this is what you own. All of the information, the legal information of
what you actually own with this property correct, it's recorded at the courthouse.
This is what John and Heidi have purchased. Here's their so called license.
Nice to live there. Default an unpleasant word, a whole different D.
It's a whole opposite D. It is when as the title people, I'll
say, if you pay, you stay. Yeah. If you don't pay,
you don't stay, you default. You have defaulted on your mortgage and
at some point you will be moving. Depreciation depreciation we typically associate with commercial
properties or commercial equipment, but a home can depreciate if you don't maintain it.
It depreciates in its value because you didn't keep the sighting painted you didn't
replace the shingles as needed, the gutters are falling off, the property is
depreciating, it's just not being taken care of. Yeah. Disclosures, So
when you're buying an occupied home or a home that has been previously occupied,
there are disclosure statements and it is just simply what has happened during the tenure
of the current owner, and you, as a buyer, want to read
those disclosure statements to see if they've had insurance claims, insurance fail, have
they had problems with the septic It's a long In South Dakota, it's essentially
five pages. But then you might have for a rural property, you might
have a well disclosure. And so where I work in Minnesota, Minnesota requires
a well disclosure and a septic disclosure, a meth disclosure. They have disclosures
to see if you change your underwear on the right day. But you do
want to read those because sometimes there's little tidbits in there that are interesting.
Dome payment, so this is not between you and the realtor. This is
between you and the lender. If you're going to get a mortgage, the
lender needs to know what you're going to put down and there are no down
payment mortgages available, but it is that percentage of the total purchase price that
you're putting down. Nice. I think most people are familiar with that one.
I would hope so. And the more you put down, the lower
your payment will be. Nice. Earnest money deposit sometimes referred to as skin
in the game. So earnest money is what you are putting down at the
time of your agreement. When you reach an agreement. It is not a
part of it's not your down payment. How earnest money came about, and
this is a little bit of a long story, but years ago, people
would write multiple offers on properties, all at the same time, and then
whichever one accepted their offer, or several people accepted their offer, they go,
I want that one, not that one. And the problem was everybody
thought they were under contract, but the reality is the buyer picked a different
house, and so to eliminate that, they created earnest money. And because
that money will get deposited within one or two business days of reaching an agreement,
and so that put a stop to the multiple offers and just leaving people
hang. Yeah, yeah, that's not very fair to do it the other
way so no, and these poor sellers were thinking they were moving forward with
something and maybe went out and bought another house only to find out or turned
turned away another offer. Correct, So this keeps everybody honest ish hopefully so.
Encroachment and encroachment is typically something we see in older parts of towns.
But occasionally somebody puts up a fence and they didn't put it up on their
side of the property line, so now it's encroaching on the neighbor's property.
Older parts of town we see fences, garages, sometimes driveways. In other
areas you might see landscaping where they just went too far. They didn't know
where the property line was and they didn't stay within their boundary. It is
also a very vertical line, not purely hard, so if the eve of
an adjoining property owner's building or house hangs over that line, that is also
an encroachment. Very nice, and again I think this would be a very
good place to take a break, and we'll come back next week and we'll
work our way through the list. Brent. If somebody would like to reach
out to you this week, what is the best way to get a hold
of you. You can find me at Brent Baker at kW dot com or

out for this day in Seux Falls History, brought to you by the Sux
Falls Fund Page, West Sioux Studios and Sonny ninety three point three. It
was on this day, December twenty fifth, eighteen seventy eight, that the
Old Germania Hall was open to the public. The walls of the Old Germania
Hall could probably have shared so many tales from the early days of Sioux Falls.
The building once stood where the old City Hall building is today, but
there's no doubt the early holiday parties were quite an event. Three state constitutional
conventions and many city events, dances and formal balls all once called Germania Hall
Home. This day in Sioux Falls History has been brought to you by the
Seux Falls Fund, Page, West Sioux Studios and Sonny ninety three point three.
