Property ValuationIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado appraiser is asked to do a 'drive-by' (limited scope) appraisal rather than a full interior appraisal. This is an example of:

AEthical misconduct in all cases
BAn appraisal with a scope of work different from a standard appraisal, disclosed in the reportCorrect
CA violation of USPAP
DStandard practice for all residential appraisals, which most practitioners would generally accept

Why An appraisal with a scope of work different from a standard appraisal, disclosed in the report Is Correct

Answer B: An appraisal with a scope of work different from a standard appraisal, disclosed in the report

USPAP allows appraisals with a limited scope of work (such as an exterior-only or drive-by appraisal) provided the scope limitation is clearly disclosed in the report and the appraiser's opinion is supported by the data gathered within the limited scope.

Exam Tip: Property Valuation

Valuation questions focus on the three approaches to value: sales comparison, cost, and income. Know which approach is best for which property type. The income approach uses cap rate and NOI — memorize these formulas.
