4 kinds of real estate ownership
• Tenancy in severalty: although it may sound like more, this type of ownership is by one
person or a corporation
• Tenancy in common: equal or unequal undivided ownership between two or more
people is what characterizes this type of ownership. If an owner dies, the deceased
person's share is conveyed to his or her heirs, not the other owners
• Joint tenancy: the four unities that must exist for this type of ownership to exist are:
o Interest: each owner has the same interest
o Possession: all owners hold an undivided interest
o Time: all owners receive their interest at the same time
o Title: all owners acquire their interest with the same deed.
o If one owner of joint tenancy dies, that owner's interest reverts to the other owners.
• Tenancy by the entirety: ownership that's available only to married couples, tenancy
by the entirety means that property may not be sold without the agreement of both
parties. The right of survivorship exists to the extent that if one spouse dies, his/her
interest reverts to the other spouse.
• Condominium/cooperative:
a condominium owner actually owns real estate. This ownership is usually the air space
and an interest as a tenant in common of the land. A cooperative owner owns shares in
,a corporation that owns a building. The shareholder also gets a proprietary lease, which
enables the shareholder to occupy a unit.
• Foreclosure/forfeiture:
Foreclosure is the loss of property to pay off a debt. Forfeiture is losing the property
because of disobeying a condition in the deed
• Grantor/grantee:
the grantor gives, sells, or transfers the property to the grantee. The grantee receives
the property.
• Leasehold/leased fee:
the leasehold interest is the tenant's interest in the property. The tenant holds the lease.
The leased fee interest is the owner or landlord's interest
• Mortgagor/mortgagee
the mortgagor is the borrower. The mortgagee is the lender. The borrower gives a
mortgage to the lender. The lender gives money to the borrower
• Replacement cost/reproduction cost:
these terms are associated with the cost approach to valuing a property. Replacement
cost is the cost to produce a structure that is essentially the same as existing structure
but using modern materials and standards. Reproduction cost is an estimate of the cost
to produce exactly the same structure with the same materials.
• Tax credit/tax deduction
a tax credit is subtracted from taxes due. A tax deduction is subtracted from income. If
all things are equal, a tax credit generally is more valuable than a tax deduction of the
same amount
