In a recent case involving Meta (née Facebook), the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an important opinion that speaks to the fundamental nature of corporate governance. Nearly everyone knows that corporate directors owe fiduciary duties to “the corporation and its stockholders,” but what do those stockholders really want? Do they want the board of directors to promote the interests of their one, single corporation, regardless of the effects on other companies?

In reply to Kenneth Mullinix. Reviewer positions pop up every now and then on jobs boards. At least a few times every year. If they’re accessible or worthwhile positions is another story. Just get used to sorting away amc’s, as they constantly advertise to pick up staff appraisers and other menial low pay positions. Review jobs are going away too, because there is a substantial reduction in appraisal requests due to the mandate of FHFA to eliminate human appraisers from the lending p

In reply to Mary T Thompson. Quick how to life hack to get a refinance loan which is more than you could actually sell the property for in the real world; Accuse the appraiser of being racist. Lender wins on both sides of the play; Higher commissions on the origination, larger write offs during the eventual liquidation or write down of asset phase. The consumer becomes captured in a debt trap, the gift which keeps on giving, servicing fees never end.

In reply to Kenneth Mullinix. Excellent. Having nullified the appraisal pressure hotline, instead there is a hotline for borrowers to call to apply value pressure to the appraiser for the specific purpose of forcing the appraiser to comply and hit the number. Most lenders work with multiple amc’s, even though they have direct assignment elite appraiser panels they could turn to instead.

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

In reply to Kenneth Mullinix. JP Morgan cares nothing about Appraisers and only themselves. Pay the Black homeowner $50,000 to shut her up. This action makes it LOOK like there WAS bias, no matter what they said in their letter. Settling means they are GUILTY! They cannot stand firm and pursue this to the end, to prove no bias and end the lawsuit because that means they have to spend more money.

In reply to Mary T Thompson. Simple cost analysis. What is cheaper? Pay her off or got to court and risk poor PR. Deal with it right away, take a small stock hit and give 50K away. Then they will figure out a better means to thwart complaints from appraisal by denying them the application in the first place.
