Impact of Short-term Rentals (on Real Property Valuation) @ Virtually - Zoom
Aug 27 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

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.

Aerial Inspections for Real Estate Appraisers @ Virtually - Via Zoom
Sep 10 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
The 7-hour presentation on “Aerial Inspections for Real Estate Appraisers” is broken down into 5 distinctive sections, known as Flight Briefings.  The Flight Briefings are as follows:

1. Types of drones

2. Real Estate Uses of drones

3. Trends of drones

4. Rules and Regulations

5. Mission Day

Our First Flight Briefing is on Types of Drones.  We are going to learn what defines a drone and the different environments that they can operate in.  For Real Estate, we are going to focus on aerial uncrewed vehicles.  There are basically three types of drones that are used for aerial inspections. That’s because different types of drones are better suited for different environments.  We are going to close out “Types of Drones” with a discussion of the additional equipment and tools necessary to conduct operations.

Our Second Flight Briefing will be focused on 10 different “Real Estate Uses for Drones”.  Drones deliver aerial access and perspectives that were previously unavailable.  They are easy to use and have a relatively low operational cost with safety built-in.  We are going to learn how an aerial mission can collect actionable data for different Real Estate Uses

Our Third Briefing We will discover the tools used to gather actionable data, from onboard sensors to computer programs.  We are also going to learn about the support systems that are being used to aid in aerial operations.

For Our Fourth Flight Briefing We are going to be introduced to the “Rules and Regulations”.  We are going to discuss the current public issues and concerns regarding privacy, security, and safety.  From the Federal Government to the general public, we will learn about resources available for permissions, authorizations, and waivers to fly.   Real Estate professionals must understand more than just airspace, pleading ignorance is not a defense.

Our Final Flight Briefing is called “Mission Day”.  It is time to fly and do a field inspection.  We are ready, the drone is airworthy, and the crew is ready.  It’s time to recheck today’s flight information.  We are going to learn to expect the unexpected and how to identify the main hazards and risks inherent through a series of Case Studies.  Finally, if possible, we will take to the air and discuss the photographs and videos needed to get our client the data they want.

“Aerial Inspections for Real Estate Appraisers” provides a realistic and thorough approach to using drones to gather useful data that can be used by a variety of different real estate businesses.   Whether you want to fly a drone for your business or hire a pilot, this presentation provides you with the information you need.

Federal and California Statutory and Regulatory Law @ Virtual Classroom
Sep 24 @ 8:00 am – 1:00 pm

Mandatory Requirement for Initial State Licensing / Certification (QE) and Renewal (CE)

Includes the required open-book exam

Instructor: Jacinto A. Munoz, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS

Appraisers recognize that they have regulatory obligations but understanding which ones apply when doing federally related and real estate related lender work is challenging. A review of sanctions and disciplinary actions taken against appraisers by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers makes it clear that many details and nuances of the appraiser laws and regulations are being misunderstood. Common, unintentional errors impact both the reputations of individual appraisers as well as confidence in the competency and ethics of the appraisal profession. This seminar is designed to help you recognize and understand the laws and regulations most important to appraisers practicing in California.

– Learn about the revised & reduced AQB RP Appraiser Qualification Criteria effective May 2018
– Understand the context of and recent amendments to the California “Laws” & “Regs”
– Find out about your new “mini-resume” on the BREA website
– Understand BREA’s new & revised definitions that affect your daily appraisal practice
– Become familiar with the new Federal & California Appraisal Management Company (AMC) Laws & Regs
– Look out for these BREA laws that result in immediate license suspension
