I gave a 30-minute talk yesterday in a conference-call setting to over 100 bankers and other folks in the lending industry (public policy types, regulators, etc.) sponsored by the Collateral Risk Network (CRN), a group which focuses on real estate in the bank lending setting. Thanks to our good friend, Joan Trice, the head of CRN, for getting us involved in this.

One of the CRN affiliates, FNC, is in the appraisal management business. Needless to say, the impact of the Gulf Oil Spill has an immediate and significant impact on they way they do business in the affected areas. They have established a web site with information about the crisis. Click here to access their site and blog directly,.

The promised white paper is still in the works — plan to finish it this weekend. Unfortunately, this project seems to be evolving in real time. Putting a “freeze frame” on it is problematic, but doable. We’ll unquestionably need to update this as the summer progresses.

Also, as many of you know, I’ve been s-l-o-w-l-y working on a book on Real Estate Litigation Valuation. It’s actually coming together a bit better now, and so I hope to have more info on that soon.
