B. Deed of TrustExplanation
A Deed of Trust does not transfer ownership. It is a legal document used in real estate transactions where a borrower transfers the title of their property to a trustee, who holds it as security for a loan. The trustee holds the title until the borrower repays the loan in full, at which point the title is transferred back to the borrower. Unlike other types of deeds listed, such as Grant Deed, Quitclaim Deed, and Special Warranty Deed, a Deed of Trust does not involve a direct transfer of ownership from one party to another.Rate this question:

Real property is more important than personal property in the DOMS process.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Real property refers to land and any permanent structures or improvements attached to it. Personal property, on the other hand, includes movable belongings such as furniture, vehicles, and personal possessions. In the DOMS (Determination of Market Strength) process, real property is typically considered more important than personal property because it has a greater impact on the overall value and marketability of a property. Real property is considered a more significant asset and can have a significant influence on a property's desirability and market value. Therefore, it is true that real property is more important than personal property in the DOMS process.Rate this question:

If Owner A sold a vacant piece of land to Owner B, then afterward Owner B developed a self storage property on the land, should we record the sale from Owner A to Owner B?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
The question asks whether the sale from Owner A to Owner B should be recorded.

The date the deed was recorded by the county recorder
- B.
The date the deed was delivered to the buyer
- C.
The date the deed was signed
- D.
The date of maturity on the Deed of Trust
Correct Answer
A. The date the deed was recorded by the county recorderExplanation
The correct answer is "The date the deed was recorded by the county recorder." This is because the recording of a deed with the county recorder's office is an important step in the sale process. It serves as public notice of the transfer of ownership and establishes the official date of the sale. The other options listed (delivery to the buyer, signing of the deed, and date of maturity on the Deed of Trust) may be significant in other aspects of the sale, but they do not determine the official date of the sale itself.Rate this question:
