In reply to Baggins. And so we all get down with the sickness. We are our own demise. Appraisers will and are officially nothing after the new 1004. I’m going back into foreclosure flipping.

In reply to LS. Well of course there are incentives like that. If they even need to try. The automation instantly rewards the lowest priced appraisers with the majority workload. That’s how one firm ends up with thousands of orders and nobody else gets anything. Auto accept software was built to assist this effort. Consumers never save a penny.

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 Mike Ford on Facebook. The solutions are so simple. The corruption so obvious. Amc’s, the long arm of predatory lending. In addition to what you said; Fair and balanced rotational distribution of appraisal orders to all appraisers on the approval panel. At similar fees as defined by fee surveys which do not include amc fees. If an appraiser is approved on an appraiser panel, they should get fair working opportunity.

The truth is AMCs are looking for the cheapest always. Sometimes I test the theory with providing a super cheap quote on a property that surely needs a lot of time to dissect.
