common real estate date problems:
escrow or closing dates, listing expiration
dates, and the number of days prepaid

number of days to a date to find a future
date, 2) subtract a number of days from
a date to find a past date, and, 3) subtract
one date from another date to find the
number of days in between.

prepaid interest due at closing, if the
escrow closing date is 10/14/96 and
