In reply to WAD. Sure. There is a saying; Nobody goes to jail. Just search this term; The Holder Doctrine, nobody goes to jail. Too many articles to post. In the latest series of untouchable white collar criminals SBF from FTX, charges related to illegal campaign finance contributions dropped. Of course they were. It’s not like Pam Crowley went into witness protection after blowing the whistle on appraisal management companies in the lead up to HVCC or anything.

A Business Appraisal relies on three broadly accepted approaches that consider all the potential variables that factor into a valuation: The Income Approach, Market Approach, and Asset Approach. These approaches review and analyze historic performance, reasonable growth projections, and the underlying assets of a company to estimate value. Depending on the circumstances, one or all three will be weighed in the final assessment.

In reply to Mark skapinetz. Mark, the author Mr Bagott refers to the higher property values for lower income communities as ‘debt traps’ You see, the issue at hand is not really race, but that of the last independent group in real estate, the appraisers, still daring to stand up against lenders lining up minority tracts, and everyone else for that matter, from the debt trap machine. aka; predatory lending.

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

Here’s the thing. Y’all ain’t gonna combat bias with bias. Simple. Appraisers continue to state there is no bias. I agree. However appraisers are up against government and more. So what is the solution? I don’t know. But the more you go against the bias claims without any actual and factual data, you won’t get anywhere. You are going to continue to be in the same place you are now.

In reply to Mark skapinetz. 10kblackappraisers.com is worrisome. I’m all for education, diversity but that group is a fundraising group only. I doubt it’s a legal nonprofit. Thaddeus also has a history. Wanting to change AVMs to increase value of homes for no reason is frightening. It would negatively upset the industry, banking and economy.

I guess I wonder what the real problem is with someone advocating for change in an industry that has had a history of some bad actors and behaviors. USPAP and State Level Regulatory bodies came out of bad behavior and bad actors and 1989 was not that long ago. We had a repeat in 2008-2010…Dodd Frank. Again, bad actors and bad behavior.

I have been appraising for 50+ years and have always maintained , it’s the neighborhood, not the residents that indicate the values based on sales. That’s why the comps were always supposed to be within 1 mile or if not available, sales in a comparable neighborhood were to be used.

Investors of RBS Securities Inc.’s multi-billion 2007 subprime mortgage-backed security offering – Soundview Home Loan Trust 2007-OPT1 – will soon be eligible to receive payment from the SEC’s $153.7 million fair fund. The SEC first commenced its case in 2013 alleging RBS – a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland plc – misled investors by claiming that the loans backing the $2.2 billion security offering were generally in compliance with the lender’s underwriting guidelines.

In reply to Diana N. The price is not the same thing as value argument, something these people consistently overlook if not purposefully ignore. They insist on maintaining this illusion that because two similar homes, in different locations, sell for different amounts, one home has been ‘de valued’, and the other has not. The market participators drive the value of housing units in one location to the next.

We all know the home valuation gap is caused by the income, wealth gap and not race. AEI had another piece out this last week dealing with the racial income, wealth gap. It stated there is almost no white, black income, wealth gap for poor and lower income individuals. There is a 3% wealth gap for all households under the median. Most of the income, wealth gap is caused by the top 10% of earners.

The authors of this blog have a special affinity for fair value appraisal proceedings. The narrow hearings—where the sole issue before the court is the fair value of an owner’s interest in a business—require attorneys and appraisers to understand, convey, and advocate on both the intricacies of the business, and complex (and sometimes esoteric) valuation issues.
