Washington DC Metro Chapter Welcomes You!

The Washington DC Metro Chapter of the Appraisal Institute has been serving the area since 1939. The chapter brings national education to the local area, offering a variety of qualifying, continuing and advanced education each year. The chapter also provides annual real estate and legislative updates to ensure we stay on top of regional issues affecting their practice.

Chapter representatives monitor and react to relevant legislative and regulatory initiatives sponsored by elected officials in Richmond VA, Washington DC and Annapolis MD. These dedicated chapter volunteers work closely with the Appraisal Institute’s professional staff to ensure our response to those initiatives produces the best possible outcome for area appraisers.

Impact of Short-term Rentals (on Real Property Valuation) @ Zoom
May 11 @ 8:30 am – 4:00 pm

7 Hour ZOOM Seminar – Approved in Most states for CE!

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.

In this seminar, you will gain a basic understanding of the global short-term rental market plus increased awareness about the impact of STRs and the emerging methods, or best practices, required to develop credible valuations of this property type.

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.
