Gain Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) expertise in your market and become an ADU Specialist.

Overview

This half-day course is intended for real estate, building and design professionals looking to increase their knowledge about Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development in Bend in order to respond to increasing client demand for properties with ADU potential.  

Professionals on the cutting edge of this emerging development trend will be able to help homeowners and developers understand site selection, development process, costs of development, and the return on investment of ADUs. This course is intended to help you understand the basic planning and building regulations for ADU development in Bend in order to better assist your clients.

Bend ADU Market 
The number of ADUs being developed in Bend is on the rise thanks to a 2016 measure by the Bend City Council that makes it easier, more predictable, and less expensive for homeowners to build an ADU. More ADUs were developed in 2016 than in any previous year and this Bend Bulletin article shows permit applications are increasing exponentially. Meanwhile, in the summer of 2016, the Oregon Department of Revenue codified some important rules around the proper property taxation treatment of ADUs.

Prerequisites:

CI 101 - Financial Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate 
Completion of one of the following interest-based negotiations courses: 
Preparing to Negotiate (self-paced online) 
Commercial Real Estate Negotiations (1-day workshop) 

CI 104: Investment Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate

CI 104 encompasses the entire life cycle of an investment, from refinancing to capital improvements to disposition. Within each case study, you will encounter a key investor decision: Should a non-taxable investor acquire an investment with or without debt financing? What if the investor is taxable? During the holding period of an investment, should an investor make a discretionary capital expenditure or not? How does an investor evaluate disposition alternatives?

CI 104 uses advanced analyses to build on the core CCIM concepts. Sensitivity analysis allows you to pinpoint exactly how slight changes in market fundamentals affect investment goals. Risk analysis uses past performance to anticipate how an investment is exposed to external and internal threats. Learn how to mitigate those threats through smart planning and negotiations.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • apply key investor decision-making analyses to optimize investment returns;
  • more effectively forecast investment performance by quantifying real estate risk; and
  • leverage CCIM analytical tools to improve decision making
