In reply to Eric Kretz. Substantial ignorance about the home valuation process, on display for the world to see. Your tax dollars hard at work. The appraisers involved had many competency issues. Courtesy of the discount fee amc engagement model. Too bad the home owners were denied access to three out of four ethical appraisers, whom refuse to work with amc’s because of the discount compensation and unethical business dealings so common with the amc companies.

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 Charles. How many appraisers do you know? I know hundreds and they will all admit when they are wrong or made an error. The key is, you have to have factual and supportable evidence, not just emotional evidence. Keep in mind when we perform appraisals that it is for fair market value which has a long list of what this definition includes.
