The appraised value by the desktop appraiser from another state was actually $80,000 OVER what the actual value was. Everything comes back around. I hope you get the help you need.

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 Jack Preacher. Jack, Also, the fees that appraisers are charging really are not that much considering the percentage of the purchase price. If a buyer can not afford $800 (standard)-$1200 (complex), how are they going to afford a hot water tank going out? Water damage that takes place? A heat pump that dies, etc? What don’t you look into closing costs on a loan that cost 10K to start?

Assuming a 40 hour work week and 5 hours to complete an appraisal your working with 8 appraisals a week. In San Diego where bids and AMC’s are the norm, a split fee of $350 is not unusual.
