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 Baggins. As evidenced by my own experience when 2 out of 5 orders I indicated a need for increased scope of work because the PDC data was insufficient. Since then crickets… Note that most of my work from a desktop and PDC perspective is investigatory because of my position with certain organizations and having first hand knowledge of the process is paramount to crafting communication with regulatory parties.

In reply to Baggins. The other concerns that I have are the legal concerns, specifically with E&O insurance. I have contracted by E&O (a larger one) and they have stated based on state board comments they would NOT cover the new hybrid appraisals due to the lack of verification of data that we are signing off on. If my E&O insurance is not willing to cover me on any assignments related to hybrid work, then why would ever want to do them?

Thanks for the question Todd. Depreciation is not a straight line calculation. Depreciation is accrued depreciation which considers more than physical condition. There is some question as to whether land value is land as if vacant or land value is as it contributes to the improved lot. For all of these reasons I wouldn’t waste my time to try to convince somebody that this is a reliable approach to valuation.
