Lending in California: Interest Calculation & Compounding and Recording Issues
Article Abstract:
California law requires recording of documents affecting title to or possession of real property and in respect of interest, this should be calculated on a 365-day year basis unless loan documents acknowledge the use of a 360-day year with date of accrual to be specified whether from date of the note or from date of the funding. Moreover, compounded interest should be clearly expressed in writing and signed by the borrower and comply with California's Usury Law.
