Conventional and proprietary frameworks for assessing the true value of residential real estate — developed and presented by Troy Morris Adkins.

About This Presentation Series

The following video presentations provide an overview of the residential real estate valuation methodologies used to assess property value — both the conventional approaches employed across the industry and the proprietary frameworks developed exclusively by Adkins Capital Management.

Collectively, this four-part series covers the traditionally utilized cost-based methodology and sales-based methodology, as well as the proprietary finance-based methodology and expense-based methodology that have been developed by ACM. Together they represent a comprehensive analytical framework that equips prospective home buyers, real estate professionals, and institutional analysts with the tools necessary to conduct a rigorous, multi-dimensional assessment of residential real estate value.

For additional detail, please review the ACM Residential Real Estate Property Analysis Report, the Finance-Based Analytical Methodology Report, and the Expense-Based Analytical Methodology Report.
