State Requirements

Are ADUs popping up in your market? Or maybe you’re seeing more tiny homes, modular builds, and other housing alternatives. This four-hour continuing education course, Appraising ADUs and Modern Homes, helps you make sense of these trends and equips you with the skills to value them confidently.

You’ll dive into zoning and placement requirements, learn how to identify and measure ADUs using ANSI® standards, and explore valuation methods when traditional comps fall short. We’ll cover GSE eligibility rules, Form 1004 reporting for ADUs, and practical tips for handling scope of work decisions. Plus, you’ll get strategies to address marketability challenges for tiny, modular, and factory-built homes, so you can deliver accurate, USPAP-compliant appraisals in every situation.
