But as Becky Baek reported two blogs ago , in mid-January, the Appellate Division Third Department became the first among the four Departments of the Appellate Division to hold that deadlock at least under the right set of facts not only justifies, but may require, a court to judicially dissolve a New York limited li

Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Flow Statement

Speaker: Wayne Spivak - President and Chief Financial Officer of SBA * Consulting LTD, Industry Writer, and Public Speaker

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

In reply to Spencer Paul. You are absolutely right. If you’ve spoken to a AMC almighty, unflawed, arrogant “CHIEF” appraiser you may get the distinct impression they are advocates for the lender. Hey, wait one minute. That can’t be true though because everything says they need to be impartial so I must be wrong. I guess I misunderstood the distain in their voices and the direction they wanted me to go.

Seems everyone one of the industry providers have either gone to the dark side (haven’t yet figured out why) or jumping ship.

I encourage anyone who thinks there is potential fraud and misuse of funds by the GSEs to contact DOGE and request an investigation. Nothing but a miracle will help me retain my business after April, however, perhaps it will help other appraisers have a future. I don’t get enough work to even pay living expenses at this time, let alone the software, and MLS memberships.
