Homogeneous banned from the appraisal lexicon

You racist pigs. The ostrich effect.

Based on theses examples, MAGA people are very bias.

Disclosure has always been about what we did and didn't do. Might as well throw this on the pile and start explaining what we did and did not mean.

If you aren't leaving a hole to begin with then there's nothing to fill in. Problem avoidance > problem remediation.

I don't disagree AT ALL with being sensitive to our environment. Regarding maintenance, however, HUD will have to change their guidance if appraisers are to stop using the term 'deferred maintenance'. Their current guidance states the following:

Property Condition Requirements

• determine the overall quality and condition of the property
• identify items that require immediate repair and are defective conditions (health & safety, structural soundness)
• Identify items where maintenance has been deferred, which may not require immediate repair

Never say never.

You already can't say Michigan if you live in Ohio. Ask any Buckeye fan (I am not one, FTR).

Here are other words....
Temple, synagogue, mosque, Christmas, Easter, graffiti....

I had one want me to characterize the building next door to the subject as something other than 'church'. I decline their request. Said it IS a church, and that is what I am calling it.

At this point, the 'is it a hill worth dying on' crowd doesn't seem to realize the hill has become a 2 inch high clump of dirt about to be washed away by the next rain.

None of these words have any place in an appraisal report.

Yeah, cause who would dream of thinking age has any use in an appraisal report...

I've had similar. Question: why was it so important for you to not call it a place of worship (assuming they would have accepted that terminology)?

Now I know why Fannie's new forms are all being delayed--every time they have a candidate go to beta testing, 6 new words are deemed offensive and the thesaurus thumpers have to get busy. They are running out of words. I think we should all become testers and pick random words we find offensive. Like appraisal. Or value.

I worship in my home. But my house is not a church.

Another reason? I am sick to death of all this crap and am drawing lines in the sand. Someone has to take a stand, no matter how small. Join me?

Not on that one... Question: Is a church a place of worship?

Reason I'm asking is that my first reaction to this request was similar to yours. Upon reflection, however, I decided that it did not impair my analysis to call the building a place of worship - even though the sign out front CLEARLY said 'Church'. So then I had to ask myself: why the angst? At the end of the day - it was primarily about the 10 minutes or so I would have to spend revising the report... decided I could live with that. I get it if others don't share my view, though.
