In the short time period of our appraisal observance (when the subject property is viewed), we attempt to gather the information necessary to estimate remaining economic life, and to rate the condition of the improvements.  Credible opinions and conclusions on REL and condition are essential to even the simplest of assignments.  This professional development webinar will discuss a process and methodology to base the opinions and conclusions of these factors.  The course objective is have a better understanding of the relationship between component age, component economic life, and the resulting estimated remaining economic life of the total improvements.  Additionally, practice and application of this process will serve to increase consistency and confidence in the your personal work product.

This professional development webinar will examine appraisal theory and practice issues that arise in the context of the appraisal of special industrial properties and that are less common in the appraisal of general commercial real property.  In addition to having relatively high values, sometimes into the billions, special industrial properties frequently involve dramatic changes in value in short periods of time.  Further they often involve combinations of assets, such as real property, personal property and business intangibles.  As a consequence, relatively minor changes in appraisal theories and practices will result in major changes in value indications.
