In order to advance sustainable housing, we need financial mechanisms to help make it happen. This webinar will provide updates on Fannie Mae's new Uniform Appraisal Database, high-performance "green" building data requirements. Then we will explore new market trends in ADUs, deep energy retrofits, and renovations, and how to expand inventory and new project construction options. Finally, review updates on new product financing, enhancements to construction-permanent loans, and investment opportunities.
