All Dressed Up Green and Nowhere to Go: The State of Lending and Appraising Green

Presented by Dave Porter, PorterWorks, Inc.

Even if every builder and remodeler goes green, if we don’t get lenders and appraisers on board then we’re all dressed up and nowhere to go. You can build it and they will come but will they get the right appraisal and a mortgage? Join Dave Porter for this in state of the union session on recent changes in lending and appraising green and energy efficient properties. Learn about the difference in FHA, VA and conventional lending programs and the most recent updates and learn about proposed changes. Tips on dealing with appraisers and updates on green valuation will be shared including an overview of the new Marshall & Swifts Green Building Costs Guide. An update on pending legislation will be provided.
