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 Eric Kretz. Thanks guys. This may be the silliest meme I’ve ever created, but here you go. Nobody wants to work with amc companies except those exploiting the system. When amc’s came forth in mass after HVCC, half the appraisers quit working with GSE’s. For the rare 15% of lenders whom did not use amc’s, the system has been a free for all.

There’s a tradeoff between them, as speed requires bigger motors, more structure, and larger tires and brakes, all of which add weight. Weight is the enemy of handling.

In reply to Cassandra Vaughn. No one has ever explained how going further and further into debt is building wealth. It builds wealth for the lending institutions. Low down payment programs in certain areas cause more foreclosures and hurt everyone in those areas. You do realize that in 2008-2011 appraisers were also accused of being racists for overvaluing houses in certain areas and causing the housing crash by doing so.
