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?

In reply to Spencer Paul. State the insurers name specifically if you can. That would send a shock wave to the pro desktop advocates if they’re completing this work, and have that same insurer. Has anyone to date requested the PDC inspectors professional liability insurance or general workers insurance and received a copy of that? Who’s insuring the property data collectors?

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 Spencer Paul. To your comment The WA state boards have already stated at ACOW meetings they expect USPAP to be upheld on all reports regardless of the scope of work. This includes verification of data from third party sources. If we have to verify the size of the house, there is only one way to do that and the is a physical inspection. The state boards agreed and pointed out that the PDC’s information must be verified.

As we continue our discussion on non-op working interests from Part 1, we turn to how the markets and valuation parameters are structured. Non-op interests tend to be smaller, with less access to capital markets than larger operators or even many royalty aggregators. They’re more niche because they take more risks than royalty interests, as discussed in Part 1.
