Date Function
Using the [:] key, you can quickly solve
common real estate date problems:
escrow or closing dates, listing expiration
dates, and the number of days prepaid
interest, etc. You enter a date as follows:

and Numerical Year.
The date function lets you: 1) add a
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.

any variable and recompute for a new
answer without having to re-enter the
other data.

Taxes & Insurance/PITH Payment
Your calculator will temporarily store
Property Tax, Property Insurance,
Mortgage Insurance rates and Heating
Expenses to allow you to compute a
PITH (Principal, Interest, Taxes &
Heating) payment as well as a regular
P&I payment. These figures can be
entered as dollar amounts or percentages. If entered as percentages, the Sales
Price or Loan Amount can be changed
and tax and insurance will recalculate
User’s Guide — 21
automatically. If entered as dollar
amounts, they need to be re-entered
with a change in Sales Price or Loan
Amount to be correct. The number 10 or
less is assumed to be an annual percentage.
Note: While in Pro-Mode, tax and
insurance entries are permanent. Also, the
PITH payment includes monthly expenses.
I
MPORTANT: Both Tax and (Property)
Insurance rates are based on Sales Price. The
Mortgage Insurance rate is based on the
Loan Amount. If neither Sales Price nor Down
Payment has been entered, the Sales Price
defaults to equal the Loan Amount (i.e.
assuming a 100% loan), in which case the
Tax and Insurance rates are based on the
entered Loan Amount

Amortization & Remaining Balance
Using the amortization function, you
can find the total interest, principal
and remaining balance for an entire
loan, a range of payments/years, or an
individual payment/year, for fully or
partially amortized loans.
1. When entering a range of payments
using the Colon [:] key, all three
possible outputs: Interest, Principal
and Remaining Balance, can be
found without having to re-enter the
range each time.
2. You can find Remaining Balance by
entering a year or range of years,
period or range of periods, then
pressing
[Set] [Amort]. (i.e., to find
the remaining balance after the 10th
year, press
10 [Set] [Amort]; to
find the remaining balance after the
10th period, press
10 [Per] [Set]
[Amort]
).
3. Entered ranges are inclusive: That is, a
range of 1 to 5 includes year 1 and 5.
4. Entering a numerical value or per-
forming a math operation on the
keyboard alters the values (including the default settings) when calculating range of payments. Always
specify a range of payments or an

ratio will remain in storage until
revised or reset. (
[Qual 1] defaults to
28%:36% and
[Qual 2] to 29%:41%.)
Note:
The
[Qual 2]
key stores additional (i.e., U.S. Government, FHA/
VA, etc.), GDSR and TDSR ratios; otherwise it operates exactly as the

2. Find the Maximum (Qualifying) Loan
Amount based on income and other
entered values (interest, term, taxes,

zero.
Note: The Qualifying Loan Amount is

Odd Days Interest & APR
Odd days interest is the “prepaid” interest
accumulated from the date of escrow
closing to the first payment date. It is
based on straight simple interest calculated for a 360-day year, using the entered
interest rate value. This interest is calculated at funding time, and is included in
the total cost of the loan, for calculating
the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). In
solving for odd days interest, you must
enter the following: 1) the loan amount
2) the annual interest and, 3) the number
of days from escrow closing to the date
of the first payment.
Finding ODI and APR
Find the monthly payment on a $100,000

Bi-Weekly Loans
The built-in Bi-weekly loan function
(
[Set] [Term]) converts established, fully
amortized monthly loans into bi-weeklies (one-half the monthly payment is
made every two weeks). With the addition of two half-payments a year, 26 biweekly payments amount to 13 monthly
payments. This means large interest savings and a reduction in pay off time.
Bi-Weekly Term Reduction & Payment
Find the initial monthly payment on a
30 year, $76,500 mortgage at a 10.25%
annual interest rate. Next, convert it to
a bi-weekly and calculate the number
of years it will take to pay off. Also
find the total interest savings and the
bi-weekly payment amount.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Using the [ARM] key, you can find the
“adjusted” payments for future years on
fully and partially amortized Adjustable
Rate Mortgages. Here are some notes on
solving ARM loans:
1. Solve the initial ARM payment as
you would any standard fixed-rate
loan. The ARM function is only used
for “adjusted” periods.
2. The “split” Interest [:] Term
Adjustment entry for ARM should
always be entered on an annual
basis. This value is permanently stored
in memory.
3. After performing an ARM calculation,
your permanently stored values for
Term and Interest will be changed.
Performing an ARM alters these values.
4. To calculate a “decreasing ARM,” enter
the two ARM parameters, then press
[Set] [ARM].
5. The calculator includes a “lifetime cap”
(i.e., the maximum amount an interest
rate may increase over the life of a
loan). Before setting the ARM parame-
54 — Qualifier Plus®IIcx
ters, enter the maximum lifetime interest increase then press
[Set] [%]. This
permanently sets the lifetime cap. To
reset the cap to “0,” enter
0 then press
[Set] [%], or perform an “All Clear.”
Increasing & Decreasing ARM Payment
Find the payment for the first three
years on a $100,000, 30 year ARM loan
staring at 10%, increasing 1% after six
months, then decreasing to 1.5% after
an additional 12 months.

Find the initial monthly payment on a 30
year, $176,000 mortgage at 8.25% annual
interest rate. Find the second and third

this ARM loan increases 1% at the end of

Note: The payment for 4th and 5th adjustments (corresponding to the 5th and 6th
years) are the same because the lifetime cap
was reached on the 4th adjustment. An “M”

reached. Before starting a new ARM problem,
press 0 [Set] [%] to reset the Cap to “0.”
