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 Baggins. Baggs, Almost the entirety of my thinking these days is colored by the many appraisal complaints I read from states all over America. While I think of FNMA as an actual criminal organization that simply hasn’t been caught yet (or should I say recently, again?) they do influence a lot of lenders and appraisers. Often incorrectly.

Their costs may not have alignment with market value. In Colorado pools used to be much more popular, lately I rarely see them, most were over time dismantled and removed.
