Elements of the appraisal that are key to sound lending decisions
Course Overview
Understanding and Interpreting Real Estate Appraisals concentrates on a commercial real estate case study. In addition to the course manual, participants also receive a complete copy of the USPAP guidelines.
This course focuses on those aspects of the appraisal that are key to helping bankers make a lending decision. Appraisal reports are not the sole determinant of whether to make a loan, but they do help bankers evaluate the value of the collateral that might be taken. Therefore, it is important for bankers to understand the content of appraisal reports and the way reports are created. With this knowledge, bankers will be able to make better decisions about the worth of potential or existing collateral.
