Today, host Hal Humphreys chats with Jason Ferris, MAI, SRA and owner of Bell Ferris, Inc. Ferris discusses his background in the industry and his experience with Short Term Rentals. It seems like bringing up Short Term Rental valuation is the quickest way to start a fight on social media. Why is there such wild variance of opinions on how to handle these? What makes them so unique? 

Ferris will be teaching a class on valuation of short term rentals all across the country for the Appraisal Institute, and one of those stops is at Valuation Expo on August 19th. You can get 7 hours of appraisal CE and gain the knowledge you need to become an expert on short term rentals. Interested? Learn more or register here: https://www.valuationexpo.com/
