FIN 4810

FIN 4810 (Real Estate Appraisal), is a three credit course offered as an elective in the Univeritsity of Wyoming On-Line Business Administration Degree. This class is also part of UW's On-Line Real Estate Certification program. Even though offered on-line, this course can also be taken by our on-campus students to meet Business College requirements.

Have you ever wondered how real estate is valued? Finance 4810 should help answer this question. The course will cover the basics of appraisal, the three main approaches to valuation (sales comparison approach, cost approach, and the income approach), reconciliation, and the reporting of results. The topic of mass appraisal and multiple regression analysis will also be considered. This class is designed as an advanced course in real estate, as such; topics in real estate appraisal (introduced in Finance 4610) are examined in more detail. This course will primarily consider appraisal of residential property; however, the principles learned are applicable to commercial and other types of property.

This course should be beneficial to the university student, the professional wanting to learn about real estate appraisal, or the individual considering making appraisal a career.

A major objective of this course is to integrate recent advances in appraisal techniques within the framework of traditional appraisal methodology. In other words, the student will not only be exposed to how appraisals are currently done, but also what can be done to improve the current accepted appraisal techniques.

This class is being taught 100% over the Internet!
