The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

I call BS. The quality of my photos make it hard for me to see anything of substance and I was in the house. Another opinion is that if this AI app can extract 100+ points from a photo, it can probably do face recognition on family photos hanging on walls creating a big potential privacy issue. If they wanted to help our industry they would make all appraisals available to us, the appraisers so we can read property descriptions, condition ratings, and the like.
Alight Inc., a cloud-based human capital and technology services provider, said Tuesday it has agreed to appoint two new independent directors to its board through an agreement with activist investor Starboard Value LP.

In reply to Spencer Paul. I use True Adjustmnet Trends from Homeputer. Remarkably, it doesn’t require photos to assess and rate the condition and quality of comparables. This extends beyond just the comps in your grid to every single comparable in your model.

In reply to Joseph. ‘Intended users does not include artificial interface software or any such AI based interface, or quantum computing systems.’ Something like that.

I think this will be difficult for them to accomplish. Doubt the scanner can ascertain the difference between fake and real granite, marble, wood, tile… I doubt it will know all appliance brands since the 1920’s.
