    Seminar Description:  

    An appraiser conducting a 50% FEMA rule appraisal must be well acquainted with numerous and varying rules and regulations set forth by FEMA, and must have a thorough understanding of construction techniques, materials, and markets. Which valuation method is most appropriate, which components should be included in the report, and which costs must be included and which may not be included. Without such knowledge, appraisers open themselves up to liability. This seminar will give a thorough overview of FEMA regulations, construction related issues and several examples from the work files of the instructor.
