Short-term residential rentals (STRs) play an increasing role in the global sharing economy. It’s important that appraisers, lenders, and underwriters become familiar with the nuances of valuing these properties. In this seminar, you will gain a basic understanding of the global short-term rental market plus increased awareness about the impact of STRs and the emerging methods, or best practices, required to develop credible valuations of this property type.

 

The seminar provides an overview and brief history of the short-term rental industry, information on aspects of value, FF&E, capitalization rates, going-concern value, motivations of property owners, and proper methods of research. Case study examples demonstrate how to value single-unit, multi-unit, and mixed-use properties that include an STR component.
