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 LS. Well of course there are incentives like that. If they even need to try. The automation instantly rewards the lowest priced appraisers with the majority workload.

The truth is AMCs are looking for the cheapest always. Sometimes I test the theory with providing a super cheap quote on a property that surely needs a lot of time to dissect. Sure enough, I get the job and always regret it. I only do this maybe twice a year. I believe AMCs are giving monetary incentives to their appraiser hunters when they can score the cheapest appraisal fee.
