When people think about the term ‘brand’ they often think only of a brand’s visual manifestation, i.e. the logo and livery. But a brand is much more than that. A brand is the sum of all you say and do in relation to your products and services, plus consumers’ personal experiences with these.

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 Al Bendover. That’ll never happen. It has to be “organic” so it can change with the leftist politics of the moment. And, of course, given that leftism is mental illness, it will only get worse (more restrictive, insane and incomprehensible) over time.
May I suggest that everyone commenting here watch the PBS show “Mr. Bates vs The Post Office” It’s a very good show about hidden corruption. It just reminded me that the powers we struggle against are so out of touch with reality, so pathological and hold us in such disdain that sanity will never return. Did anyone notice that the moment BLM and DEI showed up that the appraisal foundation jumped right into it?

Rejig is more radical than anything Anglo has tried in recent past but Australian miner could make fresh bid Get rid of the bad bits, keep the good ones. Anglo American’s defence strategy cannot be called original – especially as half of it is borrowed from the approach of the would-be bidder, BHP. One could also ask why, since Anglo has been simplifying itself for about two decades already, its board required the heat of a £34bn takeover battle to discover more urgency.
In reply to Fitz Turner. Funny thing is, I’m old enough to remember when the phrase “master bedroom” was born. It was nothing but a builder marketing phrase and had absolutely NOTHING to do with race. But, here we are, huh?
In reply to Connie Marines. It takes approximately five matched paired sales on one factor to actually come up with an accurate adjustment. In the vast majority of appraisals I do, I’m lucky to find one comparable with one factor that’s similar. I typically have to find a comparable where the land size is similar. Then another comparable where the house size is similar, then another comparable where one other factor is similar and these are typically spread over two to six counties.
In reply to Steve Maher. I’m rereading it currently. Another extremely good, very enlightening video is called “The Architects of Western Decline” Look up the Frankfurt School on YouTube. It’ll be somewhere in the list.

In reply to Connie Marines. There is nothing objectionable about it. This is nothing but financial communism destroying the appraisal industry. There’s probably a whole department of one or more government entities focused on DEI’ing the appraisal industry. What we were told to describe, consider and comment on has been been turned inside out.

In reply to Jim G. There’s a subdivision near Granbury, TX, called Indian Harbor. I was told that the only place I could use the name of the subdivision was in the legal description.

In reply to Baggins. The Article heading is Escaping the Black Hole: Appraisers Fleeing Mortgage Lending. In keeping with that thought and premise is what I was responding to. The Reality is the entire Real Estate Industry Sales and Appraisal Sectors are being attacked by AI, lawsuits and attorneys. Why??? Because Real Estate Brokers, Agents and Appraisers are just low hanging fruit with Errors and Omissions Insurance for Attorneys.

The cases I’ve followed, E & O companies refuse to support the appraisers to allow themselves to see it through and force the appraisers to settle. They refuse to pay for a long, drawn out legal battle.
