Real estate appraisals are one of the primary factors in the mortgage decision making process for lenders. Now consumers and real estate agents have a guide to lead them through the process so that they're prepared with accurate knowledge of their property's price even before the professional appraisal.
This book provided me with a comprehensive overview of how to do an appraisal. Though it lacked the detail I needed around the income capitalization approach of valuation, I still found it useful.
