Chapters # 5 – 6
Overview
The topic of Chapter 1 is an introduction to real estate principles. This chapter covers four important concepts for the real estate student. First, the real estate licensing in California is discussed, along with the real estate market. Second, the historical influence of real property is examined. Third, the difference between real property and personal property is spelled out clearly. And last, the chapter concludes by analyzing various methods of land description. These concepts are important because they may be on the real estate exam for licensees.
Key Concept from Chapter 5
I learned that real estate can be a profitable professional (p. 4). One of the reasons it can be profitable is because the compensation to agents is based on the sales price of the house. In California, real estate values are typically high, which translates into a high commission. The commission is always paid to the broker, but the real estate salesperson receives a portion. Many real estate agents are using social media to promote their services.
Key Concept from Chapter 6
The second thing I learned is that property owners have a “bundle of rights” (p. 5). It means they have control of certain things because they own the real estate. Generally, people view it as a bundle of sticks, with each one of them being a “right” the owner has. Their types of rights vary based on their level of ownership. For example, homeowners have the right to possess (live in) their houses – unless they rent out the house to tenants. In that case, the tenant now has the right to possess the house.
Key Concept from Chapter 5
The third concept I learned is the definition of real property (p. 6). There are four things that define real property: land, affixed to the land, appurtenant to the land, or immovable. These items “tests” are what separates real property from personal property. For example, a refrigerator can be moved out of the house, so it is considered personal property. However, a fence is permanently dug into the ground so it becomes part of the real property, along with the land and the house.
Summary
This was an interesting chapter and I learned a lot about real estate. Real estate has a long and colorful history in California. There are several types of land description methods, which will probably be on the state real estate exam. I know I will have to study some of the concepts further, such as the MARIA acronym of determining personal versus real property. In addition to the knowledge of concepts, real estate involves math calculations.

Financing Scenario
In the first paragraph, what is the address of the house? How much is the house purchase price? What is the down payment and what amount will be financed? What is the loan to value (LTV)? What are the closing costs? Reference the textbook (Chapter 13 or Appendix 1).
In the second paragraph, we will examine and calculate the loan ratios. What are the monthly housing costs with the new mortgage loan? With the new loan, what would be the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio as the front-end and back-end loan ratios? In the third paragraph, answer these risk-related questions with full sentences. Is this loan likely to be underwritten by the mortgage company? Why or why not? What type of risks would the lender encounter? How would the risks be minimized? Reference the textbook (Chapter 13 or Appendix 1).

Real Estate Financing by Huber
Module 4
Financing Scenario
For Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s loan application the property to be purchased is located at 1961 Rams Road, Victorville, California, 92395. The purchase price is $__________. Since it is an FHA loan, the downpayment is ___%, which is $__________ (p. 434-435). Therefore the loan-to-value (LTV) is ___%, and the loan amount is $__________. Closing costs are approximately ___% of the purchase price, which calculates to $________. Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s monthly housing costs with the new mortgage loan includes $_______ for the mortgage principal and interest, $______ for the property taxes, $______ for the fire hazard insurance, and $_____ for the MIP insurance, for a total of $________ per month. Calculating the total monthly debts would include the housing total of $______ plus the other three debts listed ($_____) for a total of $_______ monthly debts (p. 361). That makes the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio for the front-end: monthly housing cost $_______ , divided by total monthly income $_______ equals ____% DTI. The back-end loan ratio is total monthly debts $_______, divided by $_______ total monthly income equals ____% DTI. Yes, this loan is likely to be underwritten by the mortgage company because ____________________________. Possible risks for the mortgage lender would include __________________. However, the risks would be minimized because ______________________ (p. 362).

Overall note: Your grade will be based on the quality of your responses not necessarily the length of your
responses. Of course grammar, spelling, etc. will also affect your grade but the amount of points
deducted will be directly related to how much the errors affect my ability to understand your response. I
only list the 1-page length as a guideline because students always ask me what is the limit on how long
their responses should be – I have seen perfect scores on questions that were concise and well organized
(around a page) and very low scores on lengthy responses that rambled on and did not include any
SPECIFICS. Also, I expect the majority of your content to come from the information presented in this
class. The whole point of the assignments is for you to prove to me you that you have been reading all
the course materials. Please do not do Web Searches to answer your questions – it will be quite obvious
to me that you have not paid attention all semester long and are just trying to wing it. The only reason I
even allow you to include SOME outside information is for you to SUPPLEMENT your answers if you feel
the need. Please stick to the information presented in class (e.g., lectures, book, articles, videos) and
only sway outside of class material to enhance your response (that is based on course material) if you
absolutely feel the need.

Seminar Integration Paper Part III

III. PROFESSIONAL USE OF SELF: YOUR EVALUATION (12.5%)
A. Your Evaluation of Your Use of Supervision and Consultation.
(EPAS 2022 Foundation 1.5) Describe the nature of your relationship to the agency field supervisor. What elements in the relationship have been particularly helpful to you? Do you view the supervision/supervisee relationship differently from the teacher/pupil relationship? In what ways? How do you handle differences between you and your field supervisor? What has not been covered in your supervisory conferences that you feel needs to be accomplished?
B. Development of a Professional Self.
The overlap between professional responsibilities and personal needs can sometimes be confusing in social work practice. Describe your field experience where this occurred to you. Were there any similarities of clients’ problems to yours or somebody close to you? What coping and defense mechanisms can you identify in
reaction to the problems? What was the effect of your responses (from question #2) on the surrounding systems (family, peers, employers, etc.)? Describe the social work functions you find in conflict with your personal values. How do you propose to deal with these when employed?
C. Self-Evaluation of Your Field Work Experience.
(EPAS 2022 Foundation 1.3)
Be honest in your self-assessment, share your feelings. Consider the following:
From your experience what do you perceive to be your strengths for social work practice? (What do you believe you do well?) What do you perceive to be weaknesses? What causes you to come to these conclusions? What social work roles experienced did you find most difficult to handle and why? What roles seem to be most satisfying? What coping methods do you utilize in working through professional and personal conflicts? Identify the areas of social work practice in which you feel most comfortable. Why?
D. Integration of concepts from previous courses
Consider the knowledge, skills, and values of the social work profession and apply concepts learned from previous course that relate to your field experience. How might you apply information you have learned from other courses in your work as a social work student intern. Apply concepts from previous courses which relate to the importance of supervisor and supervisee relationship, self-reflection, and assessment.

My expected direction: Combination of traditional culture and digital media and must be related to traditional chinese culture.
It was because I had published a paper on the Dunhuang Academy Digital Museum, and then I had experience with Chinese dress and Qinqiang in my practice, that I wanted to focus on non-heritage culture, the combination of traditional culture and digital media. I wanted to focus on the combination of non-heritage culture, traditional culture and digital media, because the intervention of digital media can better promote a culture, especially the traditional culture which is difficult to spread in the traditional media, and also have an impact on the perception of a society.

Complete case study 3, Sanchez Family, and submit by Sunday at midnight. The case study is worth 100 points. Case studies can be found on the Routledge book site. Review the case, and answer the following questions:
What would you say are the three most crucial challenges facing the family? Explain why you see these as the most pressing concerns.
Reflect on how your own background—including your various identities, but also your growing professional identity as a social worker—may affect your choices. For example, has your culture influenced the way you think about certain problems, and thus the importance you place on them? How might different members of the Sanchez family view their situations differently, from their own perspectives?
Which theory might help you prepare for your work with the Sanchez family? What other knowledge would be helpful to you in working with the Sanchez family, and how could you seek out and incorporate that information? Think about what you might need to know about immigration policy, effectiveness of substance abuse treatments, and cultural values of Latinx immigrants and their children.
Reflecting on your social work values, what potential value conflicts do you anticipate, working with different members of the Sanchez family? For example, where might a social worker’s values diverge from Celia’s? from Hector’s?
What are the subsystems in this family?
What are the boundaries like between subsystems and for the family as a whole?
How does the family maintain homeostasis?
What roles does each family member take? How are these roles influenced by the family’s particular cultural identity?
What inputs and feedback (positive and negative) are the family receiving? What are the family’s outputs?
Is the family moving toward differentiation, entropy, negative entropy? Why or why not?
Given your assessment, are there areas that might be of concern with regard to the well-being and functioning of this family? At what points might you want to intervene?
What are the strengths and limitations to using systems theory to assess and intervene with this family? How might you compensate for the limitations of the systems theory by eclectically applying another perspective?

please respond. to. James with 150. words which component of the fire sprinkler is your selected puzzle piece;
For my component, since a classmate already chose FDC, I will discuss the standpipe system. Specifically the Class I system. The Class I system is the single 2-1/2″ hose connection as outlined in NFPA 14. The Class II system has an 1-1/2″ hose connection for use by trained personnel and the Class III system is operated by both fire department personnel and trained, on-site personnel using both 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″ discharges. when does that component activate;
As part of the supplemental system, the FDC can provide a standpipe, or support the sprinkler system in an effort to either control means of egress for escaping occupants or protect commodities. The standpipes in my jurisdiction are not generally “wet” standpipes. They are typically dry until the FD pumps water into and up to the corresponding floor. Our SOP is connection at the floor below the fire. However, more and more we’ve been seeing standpipes that charge with water upon receipt of a water flow alarm in the sprinkler system. The column of air is replaced by a column of water, thus reducing the time it takes the nozzle attack team to effectively wet their line and get water on the fire. where, why, or how is the component used
Typically, the standpipes are located in stair towers. The UFC and UCC in NJ determine the size, locations, and distance traveled to place standpipes. Our local ordinance also requires FDC’s and standpipe connections to be within 50′ of a hydrant, so the FD can quickly supplement the fire attack. In a typically standpipe building for us, which is a multi-family apartment, there will be two stair towers. One is designated as ‘attack’ and the other as ‘rescue’. Each will have a standpipe in them, but we delineate this so we can separate the two concurrent efforts, but still be able to adapt with the situation. Finally, I have seen a sprinkler head activate in the controlling of an internal trash compactor fire. This specialized deluge head sprayed more water than I ever thought a little 1″ pipe could’ve provided. Quite the sight to see! And quite the clean up…
