    Those are some great resources. I particularly like the AI’s Youtube channel. It is very informative and often has valuable insights from experienced appraisers. For example, I like the clips that talk about ‘Green Valuation.’

    Another great website to check out is the AppraisersForum.com. It is a community for real estate appraisers. I often learn a great deal from their sharing.
