This course is iPad compatible.
Manufactured housing is very different than conventional “stick built” housing and other factory built housing. As such, it has very specific appraisal requirements which must be met for entities such as Fannie Mae, FHA, USDA and VA.
In this course we will discuss the history of manufactured housing and the different “types of factory-built homes” and the importance of the HUD Code. We will examine some manufactured home facts and relevant statistics and the importance of understanding the difference between real and personal property. Since manufactured housing has very specific appraisal requirements we will review the importance of keeping current with respect to these appraisal requirements or guidelines and how to keep up to date with appraisal protocol.
Two critical elements of appraising manufactured homes, the HUD data plate and HUD label will be reviewed and explained. Now that we have gained a general understanding of manufactured homes, it is time to review the specific requirements for appraising them according to Fannie Mae, FHA, USDA and VA.
We will review and explain the specific appraisal requirements required by each of the aforementioned entities. Knowledge and understanding of the guidelines will allow appraises to perform entity specific compliant appraisals. Building on the general knowledge and specific appraisal requirements of Fannie Mae, FHA, USDA and VA we will them illustrate how to complete the appraisal report on the manufactured housing report form 1004C. Line by line illustrations and instructions will be provided including the cost approach section.
Completing this course should prepare you to successfully complete compliant appraisals and reports for manufactured housing.

This course is iPad compatible.
The need for appraisal reviews has increased in recent years for a variety of reasons: more pressure on lenders to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of appraisals, state laws requiring AMCs obtain appraisal reviews on certain percentages of appraisal reports received, more lawsuits, follow up steps related to bank-acquired properties following foreclosures, and many other reasons. However, the industry continues to have few review designations and there is no appraisal review license issued.
This course is designed to provide training to current appraisers who are interested in mastering the nuances and pitfalls that come with appraisal review, specifically reviewing residential appraisal reports, mainly for lending uses. The course begins with looking at the why, what, and how of appraisal review. After those basics, the Review Standards themselves and Rules are examined, with a strong focus on example scenarios, sure to bring out good discussions in a classroom environment. Additionally, these units tie together the associated components of the Development and Reporting Standards, rather than simply examining Development in one chapter and then Reporting in the next; this approach ensures that there is an immediate understanding of the practical implications on the report itself. The next chapter focuses on the flexibility of a review’s scope, common forms as they relate to the scope of work, and distinguishing between statements that infer a value opinion and those that do not. What do we actually measure the appraisal report against? This is the question we answer in the next three chapters, looking at the Standards for appraisals, unacceptable practices and common errors, and typical client and user expectations. While report and scenario examples are used throughout the report, longer report examples are discussed in the final chapter, along with revisiting ethics.

Wed Apr 311:00 am to 12:00 pm EDT
Is your appraisal business built for success? Are you ready for the changes coming? Does the structure of your business need to evolve due to the influx of desktop appraisals, hybrids, and other types of valuations? The world of valuation is rapidly changing, and change inevitably brings fear, but you don’t need to face the future with trepidation. In this webinar, Dustin will lay out the changes that have happened, are happening, and will continue to happen in the appraisal profession and give real, meat-and-potatoes options for success now and into the future.
For more than half of his career, Dustin Harris ran his appraisal business just like everyone else. As a consequence, he got the same results as everyone else; long hours and living paycheck to paycheck. After an intense study of successful people, Dustin began putting principles of prosperity into place that have transformed his appraisal business and made him a successful leader in the profession. Now, in addition to being an appraiser, Dustin finds every way possible to teach these principles of success to other appraisers across the country. He has mentored hundreds of appraisers who have also transformed their businesses. In a big way, he is ‘creating value’ for real estate appraisers.

McKissock is an awesome institution to do any of the programs that they offer. The courses are well-layout and very detailed; and easy to read and understand. The quiz at the end of each chapter helps to reinforce the information.
A big thank you to the team at McKissock Learning.

Where can I find the Florida 30 hour bundled package? The only thing I am seeing is the unlimited package
The link to the 30 hour appraisal package is here: https://www.mckissock.com/appraisal/continuing-education/florida/ you would need to scroll down but you will find the packages next to the Unlimited Learning Membership Premium information.

I need the 7 hr. USPAP update for Florida. You have two listed. Which one is required by Florida?
The two 7 hour USPAP courses that we have listed are both approved for CE credit. The non-residential course is more geared towards commercial appraisers.
