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

Are any of you guys old enough to remember when the HMO’s and PPO’s came into existence? During that time, and I can’t remember where I saw it, but there was a video of a surgeon talking about them and complaining about being called a “vendor” He said, “I’m not a g*d-d*mned vendor, I’m a surgeon!” I remember the guy I was working with at that time saying that it would never happen to us.

In reply to Joseph. Most homeowners confuse appraisers with surveyors. ALL homeowners assume that they are paying you only for the amount of time that they see you. Don’t waste your time attempting to educate them, hand them a sheet with the entire process and times involved. If you do AMC work note that 60% of the fee goes to your pimp.

In reply to Mary Cummins. AMC should probably be reported to BREA. Chances are they wont do anything. But maybe they will. AMCs DO actually have responsibilities to ensure they are getting good quality work by appraisers who are geographically competent in an area. And this AMC clearly isn’t. OBVIOUSLY he was not even remotely geographically competent in your market if he isn’t going regular enough to do a 1004D… Just because it’s a hybrid doesn’t mean he can escape

To pretend to have a specific license, when one does not have that license. Depending on the harm and risk imposed is typically a high level misdemeanor to a low level felony.
