With Massachusetts' recent adoption of new statewide Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations, mortgage professionals and appraisers must quickly adapt to a shifting landscape. This timely session will provide a comprehensive overview of the new ADU framework, including municipal implementation strategies, zoning challenges, and compliance timelines. Experts will discuss how these changes affect property valuation, appraisal methodology, and underwriting standards. Whether you're appraising ADUs, originating or evaluating loans, this session will equip you with the practical knowledge to navigate ADU-related transactions with confidence and clarity.

Topics include:

  • Overview of Regulations/Municipality adoption and implementation
  • Design/Build/Cost concepts for ADU’s
  • Financing: How can ADU’s be financed by the consumers?
  • Appraising ADU’s
  • Best Practices in Lending on a Property with an ADU
