Using Statistics in Commercial Appraisal Reports
by Administrator on Sep 17, 2012 • Commercial Appraisal • 965 Views
I have been writing and reviewing narrative commercial real property appraisal reports for many years and the fact of the matter is that there are very few appraisers who venture far into the statistical realm unless they have to. It's just easier for most appraisers to stick with what is accepted by everyone, what are known as "traditional appraisal services." Users of appraisal reports, yes even many accountants, businessmen and judges, often have a tough time comprehending and accepting income capitalization. So is not surprising that appraisers ask themselves, "does it make sense for me to offer something as obscure to my users as a statistical analysis?"
Estate Planning Training Covers the Complexities of Preparing a Client for the Future
by Guest on Sep 18, 2012 • General Property • 1887 Views
For most clients, the designated goal of estate planning is to decide who receives what assets and when they receive them Although many clients may formulate their own clear idea of who should inherit their properties, a number of details should be discussed with his or her financial planner before making decisions. Estate planning training teaches advisors how to properly plan and make the best decisions for the future of client estates. When it comes to property ownership, you cannot designate inheritance on what you do not own. Even if you have been the sole resident of a location for years, ownership rules for single people are simple. Unless the property is limited by contract or some form of shared ownership, advisors’ single clients can leave all property owned outright. The fact that some institution has a claim on the property, such as a mortgage on a house or a lien on a car, does not create shared ownership.

What Makes FHA Appraisals Different?
by Guest on Sep 28, 2012 • Residential Appraisal • 931 Views
For most residential appraisers the answer to this question is already well known because if you are delivering appraisals of this type you have to complete and deliver them every day, so I am going to answer this question with the assumption that you are not a FHA appraiser. FHA appraisers have read and are familiar with their charge, knowing FHA guidelines, or they end up out of business quickly.
FHA appraisals focus not only on the market value of a home for mortgage lending purposes but also on the health, safety and functional condition of a home. Appraisers who complete reports for conventional lenders don't usually need to check things like; complete plumbing system operation, appliance operation, heating / cooling system operation, etc. Obvious problems, like significant structural cracks, roofing problems and deferred maintenance are identified for banks in conventional loan appraisals, but FHA appraisals force the appraiser to make a number of decisions about a property that at times blur the line between the duties of an appraiser and a building inspector.
