    Analyzing and Reporting the Income Approach in the New URAR

    Program Description

    The new Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) includes an income approach section that may present specific “problem” areas in the reporting of 2-to-4-unit properties. Specifically, the practitioner may be confused given the different manner in which property characteristics and market area characteristics are defined, described, and analyzed.

    Analyzing and Reporting the Income Approach in the New URAR is a four-hour program. Using practical case studies, this program will allow residential appraisers to enhance their proficiency with the income approach as reported in the new URAR, whether they have plentiful market data, very little market data, or confusing market data. Appraisers who are not well versed in completing a thorough and credible income approach will find this program to be most helpful. The program will also be a good refresher for the experienced appraiser and the reviewer of residential reports.

    Who Should Enroll

    This program is intended for residential appraisers and reviewers of residential appraisal reports.
