Question

At the closing on June 15, the buyer is assuming a mortgage presently on the property, on which the monthly interest charge is currently $600. The seller has made the payment due on June 1. Assuming a VA mortgage, what is the adjustment made at closing?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is :

• Debit seller $300;
• Credit buyer $300.

Explanation:

The interest of a mortgage is estimated by dividing the interest rate by the days of the year and after that, the outcome has to be multiplied by the outstanding one. This interest can be the same amount every day of the same month. Normally, the amount due the lender is calculated a month at a time.
