Real Estate Vocabulary

What is in this deck

With this deck you learn real estate vocabulary: the estates and encumbrances, title and recording, contracts and financing, the three approaches to value, agency duties and land use law.

Fee simple absolute is the fullest ownership the law recognises, and everything else in property law is described by what it takes away from it.

100 cards. The estates and how they end, easements and liens and which lien outranks which, the deeds and what each one actually promises. Then financing, where loan to value decides the insurance and amortisation explains why the balance falls so slowly at first. Then valuation, agency, the fair housing rules and the land use law that decides what may be built at all.

Licensing is by state and so is much of this law. The vocabulary is national, the thresholds are not, and your own state's current statute remains the authority.

The categories decide what comes up: start with “Agency” alone and add the rest when you are ready.

Learning with Qardbox

You see a card, you think, you turn it over and say whether you knew it. A round asks nothing more of you, and how the app works out the next date from that is on the page about FSRS-6.

What sits comes back less often, what wobbles comes back soon. You set a daily goal, and when nothing is due the app tells you exactly that instead of inventing work for you. How a round goes is shown on the learning page.

Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads. After the purchase the deck sits in your library like any other subject and can be studied, reordered and extended just like your own.

What it costs, and what it doesn’t

Qardbox itself costs nothing, and it stays that way. Every function is there from the start, with no subscription, no ads and no tiers; what that rests on is on the page about what it costs.

Your own cards stay unlimited, and decks from friends or from the family you read in without a limit, from a file as well. You do not need this deck in order to learn with Qardbox.

It is a shortcut: 100 checked cards for €1.29, once, with Family Sharing. The work you would otherwise do is already done. The App Store shows the price in your currency.
