In reply to Mark E Hastert. Nepotism is not happening in the appraisal world. The term describes something more akin to political dynasties or unearned promotions to family members in large companies. Something not even possible for most appraisers or appraisal firms.

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

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.
