# Get Asset Types and Assessment Types

## Overview

This route is commonly used to identify valid UUID combinations for `asset_types` and `assessment_types`, which are required inputs when creating an order.

<Tip>
  **Pro Tip:** *assessments* are commonly called *inspections*.

### Asset Types

An `asset` is any physical thing made of atoms that can be inspected by a 3rd party. Real estate assets are usually identified by a location such as a postal address. Common `asset_types` include the following:

| **Short Name** | **Description**                                                                 |
| :------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| SFR            | Single-family residential homes designed for one family unit                    |
| MFR            | Multi-family residential buildings containing two or more separate living units |
| MOD/MH         | Modular or manufactured homes built in a factory and transported to site        |
| Commercial     | Commercial properties like hotels, retail spaces, or office buildings           |
| Mixed Use      | Properties combining residential and commercial spaces in a single building     |

### Assessment Types

An `assessment` is a structured review of an asset. Each `assessment_type` is treated as a unique product depending on the nature of the assessment and evidence-collection method.
