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

Same topic, Cindy from the AI. / Gov’t-Indulged Middlemen Are Wrong Rx for Battered Borrowers, the Infirm / He details exactly that, various whistle blowers detailing a higher fee rake for amc’s than paid to appraisers. I don’t understand why we need whistle blowers when literally everyone involved in mortgage lending knows this is happening.
Company has been under pressure, issuing several profit warnings amid slump in property market Business live – latest updates Crest Nicholson, the embattled housebuilder, has rebuffed a second all-share takeover approach from its larger rival Bellway valuing the group at about £650m.

Most the AMC’s I worked with were crooks. They took more of the split then I was getting as the appraiser who was actually doing the work. And they would all-to-often come back with frivolous (unpaid) revision requests to try and justify their existence. An AMC should NEVER send a report back for revisions. That was never their intent when they were created.

In reply to Bill Johnson. God, now Regorra has formed their own appraisal management company? They are the least reliable most deceptive appraisal assignment company out there.
