In reply to WAD. ‘If an appraiser were to do that, it results in double dipping the adjustments if any other adjustments are made in the grid.’ The whole enchilada, from extracted regression tools. What about the extra features? Quite right. The alternative is a classical simple mathematical approach. Distributed allotment. Each component a piece of the pie, no more than 100% should be applied.

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 David. Are you analyzing the whole market in that grid, or a small set of carefully selected individual examples? Convoluted would be intermingling the theories for macro economics into micro analysis of individual sales examples. My entire life is a waste of time, I’m a mortgage lending appraiser. Had to edit, I said sampling! Try to stay away from that language.

In reply to Baggins. I agree fully with you on this post. That being said, I still don’t understand your point the phrase sample pool. You manually picked comps, let say the average workfile might have a total of 8-10 sales, of which you rank and file the most similar to the 5-7 that you place in the report. Why would this not be called a sample/comparable pool?

With the right deal team , the M&A process can be intensely rewarding and a defined path toward achieving financial goals. Successful M&A deals can help businesses reduce expenses and result in increased efficiency, better utilize capital investment, and achieve a greater ROI.

In reply to Spencer Paul. To say sample implies there are other options. Perhaps there is but I like to reiterate that after extensive market review, I have selected the most meaningful most pointed sales for detailed grid analysis. If there was actually more than six best choices, I may at the end of the report write up, detail the considered but unused comparables.

In reply to David. Interesting. All I do is write narrative reports that win cases. I won’t touch a form report. They are inadequate and too often deceiving. My reports are very inclusive and long – to the chagrin of the opponents typically lazy appraiser. What is funny is that, it is not uncommon for the opposing attorneys to attempt to engage me for future assignments.

In reply to Baggins. I think that we agree. I don’t use regression because a math professor once stated that you can not properly run regression if there is more than one unknown variable in the equation. Comparing one house to the next, there are at least 50 on the exterior, let alone the interior. To me that increases the margins of error, nor shrink them.

In reply to Chuck Minzenberger, SRA. Thanks. Run two different models, that’s interesting. I have only one workfile, and only one brain to analyze the data their in. Personally I don’t run models or use advanced tools, I just look at market data a hundred different ways until I feel I’ve identified the market segment I’m needing, and the market set with most logically oriented trends.

In reply to Realist. The forms were meant to be the base minimum. If you are working in the mortgage industry and you aren’t writing a near narrative report, I just fear that when it craps, they will come back to blame the appraiser and having little data to support your opinions, without additional consideration to those higher and lower being included in the report just opens up your liability.

Spencer, multiple regression is easy to run, but it does involve creating. a ranking matrix and I emphasize it only provides correlation which must be explained. Years ago McKissock attempted to peddle a package which would derive adjustments, but it failed. I have no knowledge of getting from regression to actual adjustments. FYI regression can be very useful with limited data – Take 8 land sales and rank them be flat, frontage, size and you can show the effect of each on value/acre.

To Realist! I made a decision 2 decades ago to never write a commercial narrative report again for less the 10K. We will assume that is your base fee. The bigger the files, and the greater the words printed is just smoke. In every report there is a hook to take throw information at the wall appraisals down. As a hearing officer it was hours of listening with a one sentence note as to the decision.

Spencer, as usual, you missed the point. Why sit down and labor over a narrative report for 2-4 weeks for peanuts when you can make the more money looking at a property on a Monday, finish it Wednesday and get paid Friday times five. That is the way to make more money and continuously have new entertaining work. 100 plus pages of narrative report mostly BS – not for me.
