In reply to Baggins. You are talking about Fannie Mae guidelines. Are you on the FHA Roster? Do you complete FHA and USDA appraisals? FHA and USDA use Fannie Mae guidelines along with other strict restrictions. FHA HUD guidelines state “Comparable sales should not exceed 6 months from date of sale and, in no cases, may exceed 1 year from date of sale in the first three comparable sale positions” This is not a lender imposed rule.

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

I’ve now been writing about finance careers for almost 20 years, and the topic of the CFA for investment banking never seems to die. I first criticized the CFA in a 2009 article , which generated a lot of angry comments. Not much has changed since then. People online still argue about the merits of the CFA, whether they “need it” to win various roles, and its usefulness compared with an MBA, high grades, additional internships, or becoming a Twitch gaming superstar.
