Setting the Stage for Inputs: An In-depth Look at an Inferred Market Study @ via ZOOM
Oct 10 @ 8:30 am – 12:30 pm

  • Class is 8:30 am -12:30 pm

Appraisal reports convey opinions and conclusions that are to be based on credible market support.  However, the reality is that this does not always occur. USPAP requires the appraisal to have market support, sound reasoning and logic for adjustments in a comparison analysis, all components in a cost analysis and the multiple aspects of an income analysis. This program will address the need for meaningful market analysis for properties that commonly transact and are located in relatively stable markets, using industry approved and peer tested techniques within the Six Step process. This program will focus on how this can be accomplished in an inferred market study.

Market analysis precedes and is the underpinning of the highest and best use analysis and conclusion. Many valuation reports convey opinions but often lack the underlying data and analysis to support the opinions and conclusions expressed in the report.  The underlying market data and its analysis is often poorly communicated due to clients requesting a quick turn-around time frame or the impact of other restrictions.

This program will assist the attendees in gaining a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the real estate, either man-made or naturally occurring. Valuation nuances will be addressed, especially when the Subject and/or the competitive sales involve limited utility features. USPAP establishes minimum requirements for an appraisal and the practitioner’s need for competency will be stressed. The program will offer insight into recognizing, understanding, and evaluating physical characteristics and legal controls that impact many assignments. It will be stressed that a practitioner should seek to exceed the minimum requirements thereby better serving their clients and intended users.

The program will review industry approved and peer tested methods and techniques when encountering unique features. Knowing what to look for when inspecting a property or reviewing third party data such as zoning maps and MLS fact sheets will enhance the use of tools available to the appraiser to answer a client’s question.

NEW SEMINAR!  Short-term residential rentals (STRs) play an increasing role in the global sharing economy. It’s important that appraisers, lenders, and underwriters become familiar with the nuances of valuing these properties.

The seminar provides an overview and brief history of the short-term rental industry, information on aspects of value, FF&E, capitalization rates, going-concern value, motivations of property owners, and proper methods of research. Case study examples demonstrate how to value single-unit, multi-unit, and mixed-use properties that include an STR component.

Seminar objectives:

  • Recognize properties that are the subject of valuation that have the potential to be short-term rental properties;
  • Discuss appraisal projects with clients in order to properly develop a Scope of Work;
  • Derive a highest and best use analysis to properly set up the valuation methodology and valuation techniques to be employed in the appraisal;
  • Identify data sources used by one’s appraisal peers for short-term rentals and how to apply market information in the valuation of the subject property;
