Yeah you are probably right. It would be hard to analyze BPOs when you are on here pushing the daily cool aid.

I am really worried about Timd and drugs or maybe mental health. I like Timd.

I appreciate your obviously genuine concern about my well being, Eli...and the fact that you like me so much that you accuse me of being a shill, a criminal, on drugs etc. We need more of your kind of honest sincerity in this world, lol.
 
So it is at this point is where I am getting a bit confused. Seems we have drifted off into personal attacks maybe to provide cover for some previous post that made no sense.

Now that I gave more thought into the original post and survey maybe I am wrong about Geo-competence. If your stuck behind a desk in Carnivore's Den completing desktops, eventually over time I would not see or observe the fluidity of a changing market segment thus making or stating assumptions that are in total error because they are outdated. All because I don't see the whole picture when you actually drive around getting to your subject and comparable.

When 2055's first came on the scene I was apprehensive about that because a lot of the time excess depreciation was more likely on the interior. Vinyl village comes to mind. Look great on the outside, but inside is horrible. Everyone said don't worry the SOW is limited and your not responsible. USPAP was not a problem at all.

So I am thinking a desktop maybe not be the best thing for me. Let Mikey Do it

Thank you, I like you and was concerned about your well being, Have you seen a doctor lately?
 
Where's JT? She usually pops in with a comment. Just kind of curious what she thinks?
Yes, lets all do the guilt by association thing. Beats trying to logically argue one's position based on its merits.

BTW, I know Joan Trice in the real world and I am not ashamed to say that I like her and respect her even though I do not agree with her on everything regarding this profession. Her CRN organization is a very is an excellent organization composed of a group of very well respected and knowledgeable collateral risk professionals that does an excellent job identifying and trying to solve issues that effect the profession.

I know that in your mind, Joan, the CRN, chief appraisers such as myself, the GSE's, the AMC's, REVAA, FHFA and other "dark" forces are all engaged in some vast conspiracy to screw over appraisers and the public....so be it.
 
It has to do with focus. Tell me your focus.
Is it mortgage fraud?

Fastest and cheapest?


Public trust?

They are all existing focuses. Don’t be ignorant.

What is your focus?

Money?

Market value?

"Fannie is simply dishonest in the ways that it deals with appraisers and appraisal issues."

Must of been some kook who hated the gses.
