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

A system reset is needed. Why doesn’t the AMC just assign the jobs out without collecting the Appraisal fee. Let them collect the Management fee for their services and let the appraisers collect our fee’s at the door like old times.

In reply to Baggins. I don’t particularly like to work in the city (closest to me), and love to work in the more rural areas – those which surround my immediate county. I have developed years of expertise in these areas and would hate to loose them for the local city work. I am one who is willing to drive 50+ miles to retain the peace of rural work, but do expect a reasonable fee for a rural area.

Why reinvent the wheel when the VA rotation panel is already proven to work. Federally mandate that each state set up a rotation panel and actually manage it and hold participants accountable for their work. The severe lack of regulation enforcement prior to Dodd Frank was a large part of the problem. Eliminate the middle man, Bring back the profession, give us back our business resources and turn times will not be your problem.

No, repeat NO “sql” or any other automated, or human interpreted “script” can ever do the things claimed in the article. Why is it that no one actually reads FIRREA? “The” AMC (or anyone else) ordering an assignment is to assure appraisal competency to perform the specific appraisal being ordered. License level doesn’t ensure competency.

We like this tech person. He keeps honestly trying to help. I suppose, run through one of the older arguments here. Appraisers talked at length about these issues in the early days of amc’s. Round robin is the best. Faster one gets the assignment done, faster they get back in line for the next order. Amc’s and tech platforms turn time ratings is what led to systemic training deficiency, excess use of outsourced non licensed service help.

I miss the days when we’d roll into the mortgage lending offices with two dozen donuts, shoot the breeze for an hour or two, hand out our business cards, and work overtime for the next several years non stop. If any of the agents upset us or tried to break the rules, we’d tell them off, then go back to the exact same office and land a connection with the broker sitting next to them instead.

In a new article, I examine the history of the Walt Disney Company as a case study of what I perceive to be a gap in the law of fiduciary duties of corporate directors and executives. Based on publicly available filings and records, public statements of Disney directors and employees, and other sources, I argue that there is credible evidence that the people managing Disney lately have been making decisions that are not in the best interests of the corporation.

The AMC model was never about quality or consumer protection. It existed to siphon profits from the professionals doing the real work. This script lays out exactly why they need to be sidelined. Cutting out the middlemen means better fees, faster turn times, and a return to local market expertise. This is the shift appraisers have been waiting for.
