Question

real estate appraisal topic needed for paper?
I need to write a college term paper on a real estate appraisal topic. This is for a real estate appraisal class, so it can't be anything too simple. I have a few ideas, but it seems to either be too simple or not enough info available. Could you suggest a topic that would impress a college professor who also happens to have his appraisers license?

A great topic would be the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage industry and how appraisers played a part in the collapse by inflating values to expedite deals etc. See Ohio for many articles and samples.

One of the things that trips up many inexperienced appraisers is improperly differentiating between surplus and excess land, or even failing to discern the situation when it presents. Valuation of land (including lots) has, in the past, received too little attention in basic appraisal education. Run something like this, or another land related topic, past your professor and I'll bet you make an impression.
