Appraisal CE Now Available!
How to Evaluate & Value Manufactured Homes
Perhaps one of the most confusing and mysterious appraisals that confront appraisers today is that of Manufactured Homes. In the past several years just under 50% of the homes sold in the U.S. were either Manufactured or Modular Homes. This obviously is a large source of business for the appraiser. This seminar not only looks at the different types of construction of the two but also how they are transported to the site and placed on their foundation. Also examined will be the quality of construction, the HUD Code, construction methods, foundations, tie downs and styles. Also discussed will be the choosing of the proper comparable sales and the use of stick built houses as comparables. Instructor Philip Urso, MAI, GAA will help you understand this type of appraisals. Seminars will be held November 19 in Milwaukee, November 20 in Appleton and November 21 in Madison.
