Commercial Real Estate Appraisals: Components, Approaches to Value, and Cap Rates
For about 30 years, we have worked under multiple sets of rules and guidelines concerning the ordering and reviewing of appraisals. Appraisers have worked under the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for even longer. This program provides a concise overview of the various rules and guidelines, plus key nuances that have created differences among the approaches taken by institutions and endorsed or supported by their regulators.

What are some tips and traps in handling review outcomes? Can your institution have different levels or types of reviews for commercial properties? What key factors drive how to set the different levels?
