Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Flow Statement

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.

This has become so comical. So now in addition to being racist and biased we are now incompetent. Hey, just part of their master plan to just keep piling on the coffin nails to seal our fate. This is just another coup de gras shot to ensure the industry is DOA. How some obscure entity can make such a ridiculous accusation is blasphemous. Hell, most “respected” publications will tell you any two appraisers worth their salt should be within 5% of one another.

In reply to Anthony Blackburn on Facebook. Housinwire has no interest in publishing content from appraisers. They removed the comment section, likely to avoid hearing critical feedback from the appraiser community. In fact, HousingWire has not featured an appraiser-authored article in quite some time.
