Report Writing and Valuation Analysis, Linthicum, MD - This course provides instruction and practice in communicating a narrative appraisal. Lectures focus on relevant questions in each step of the valuation process and on the integration of the various parts of an appraisal report.

The examination consists of various parts of a Self-Contained Appraisal Report, which are prepared as homework assignments and submitted at the end of the course. By focusing on effective organization, style, grammar, and the elimination of wordiness and ambiguity, participants learn to develop good writing habits and communicate effectively in appraisal reports.

Appraising Distressed Real Estate: Here We Go Again, Rockville, MD - In keeping with its cyclical nature, the real estate market has once again moved toward a state of dissolution. In the current economic downturn, this timely new seminar provides critical insights on how appraisers, lenders, and investors will value distressed real estate.

In Appraising Distressed Commercial Real Estate: Here We Go Again, learn how to analyze distressed development properties and improve commercial real estate under the present market conditions.

• Examine, in detail, specific steps to enhance distressed properties.
• Develop methods for arriving at a market-supported “as-is” value forecast and in doing so, acquire techniques for enticing entrepreneurs, among other buyers.
• Discuss adaptive and alternative use on distressed properties that no longer support their current use by reviewing three examples that demonstrate the conversion process.
• Also, learn to accurately evaluate land values with limited direct comparables while you explore three unique case studies involving property in times of distress.
