This is the new generation of on-line continuing educational courses, one that was actually interesting and helpful in actual appraisal practice with good references and sources of information. It also had excellent verbage that would help supplement the report categories to explain expenses or other factors used in the analysis. Overall, very helpful and recommended to anyone who appraises hotel properties.
