Jointly, Region I and Region VII will also be offering the Historic Preservation (Façade) Easements: Appraisal Techniques and Valuation Issues seminar on Friday, February 4.  The  Joint Regional Meeting will take place on Saturday, February 5.

Watch for details on location and registration specifics - coming very soon!

Instructor: Gary DeWeese, MAI

This 7-hour seminar introduces participants to how the terms of a lease and the risk profile of the tenant influence the valuation of commercial real estate. Participants will see how the business features of commercial leases affect the quantity and the duration of the income stream that a property will generate and the development of the property’s income statement. Non-traditional sources of income, the proper period to use in measuring the income, measuring the real vacancy rate, expenses that might not be recoverable by a landlord if a CAM formula is incorrect, and how other special clauses in a lease can all affect the property’s income stream will be examined. The second part of the seminar discusses tenant credit risk issues and explains why understanding a tenant’s financial strength is key to assessing the quality of the income stream.

We all live in our little “appraiser world” bubbles, so having the opportunity to get together with peers is both fun and beneficial. Join us for a casual and informal round table discussion every month (or so) to meet up with local appraisers. We will be gathering outside.

Location:  Dust Bowl Brewing, 290 Figueroa Street, Monterey

Time: 6:00pm until whenever (TGIF) . . .

The Simple Details: Buy-your-own-beer (or beverages) and appetizers. Advanced reservations are not necessary - grab a colleague, your peers, and just show up!

This NEW 2022-23 one-day update course, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. The course, which clarifies several commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP, will aid participants in all areas of appraisal practice seeking updated competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.   Approved by the California BREA for 7-hours of CEC - #21CP754601481.

NOTE: Appraisers must successfully complete the 7-hour USPAP Update Course every two years to meet the USPAP continuing education requirement.
