Standardized Property Measuring Guidelines

[djd09]

ANSI has been adopted by (2) States - Isn't Joan from Maryland ?

which State is she licensed in?

The last time the forum was so aflame about a change was when UAD was implemented. I think it was the same characters protesting so much then. UAD violated USPAP etc, etc. Appraisers were going to quit doing GSE work over UAD. Yet here they are to complain about the next change.

I believe Joan gave up her license. She is an arm-chair appraiser telling all practicing appraisers what to do.

Yeah, and the UAD has done great things to improve valuations.

Correct She no longer has a license and her and her daughter making way more money being unlicensed appraisal experts.

Yeah, but now appraisers are using standardized definitions and no more good+ or good- crap. Nobody was putting the contract date on the URAR before UAD even though Fannie Mae guidelines have stated for years to put in on there.

Lol. Not me; I still use Average-Good Excellent, etc. It is a much better rating system than the disastrous UAD codes. I don't even pay attention to those so-called ratings when appraising a property. When I'm finished analyzing the market, I pick one of the C & Q ratings so the report can pass through and feed Fannie's awful database. These ratings as well are ANSI, are entirely irrelevant to me.

What if you can't

I honestly have never encountered a situation where I couldn't - I suppose if a tree were in the way maybe, but if I can get ONE side and the length of the hypotenuse I can still solve for the other length to input in the sketching program. I have never needed to rely upon the angle. I used to try that but with rock or brick that angle might be five degrees or more off.

Or to simply explore the fact that it is nonsensical "standards" that serve no useful purpose but to appear to "improve" the appraisal process without at least acknowledging that it is mindless piffle.

A hypotenuse only works with right angle. How do you find the hypotenuse of an isosceles or scalene triangle.
