In reply to Cam R. I rarely work for this AMC. I took the 1004D because I was curious and not doing much. Subject was also right next to me. I understood why they offered more than average for the 1004D after I accepted the bid and read the original report. I’m amazed they allow such sloppy data collection work and appraisals. They didn’t even ask the original appraiser for clarifications which would have been listed in the appraisal with this AMC.

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
