In reply to Baggins. A borrower inspection is just that. The borrower is lead through a video inspection on his/her phone by an appraiser sitting at a computer. The appraiser gives the borrower instructions on what to view and the borrower takes video while walking through the property. The appraiser sitting at his/her desk can watch the video as it is being recorded by the borrower and take snapshots of items of importance through coordination with the borrower.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you canât 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

Haven’t read all of the above, but this concept simply wreaks of setup, conspiracy, sting, & entrapment, and is as simple as holding an appraiser accountable for matching a preliminary title report that was never provided and not otherwise available to the “valuation expert” at the time the assignment order was placed and accepted.

Certifications help signal that someone is knowledgeable and competent in a given subject matter or area. For expert witnesses, a certification can be valuable for emphasizing their competency and eligibility to serve as an expert witness in court.

In reply to Eric Kretz. That is interesting. I have heard similar stories here in the PNW. I have tried to expand my coverage areas for more rural type places to keep work coming in and in all accounts I was rejected. Well, unless I wanted to cover area that are even farther than my 3 hour radius of coverage. I said no thank you. I drive far enough as it is and if the markets shifted to the positive 10% I would be very busy.

Movie industry experts expect a weak box office in 2024. And yet, the boards of major studios decided to reward their CEOs handsomely, according to Variety.

In reply to DGK. “I can assure the industry that setup, entrapment, and sting efforts all exist at that level, as does overlooking fact in favor of accusation. Be very careful out there, because right or wrong it is very, very, expensive.” There is a video a few years back of a Tennessee state appraisal board hearing where a board member was caught on camera saying to other board members “an appraiser comes in the door, stubs his toe, and we fine him $4,000” or something
