2024 USPAP - "Personal Inspection" definition revised

[Carnivore]

I would have taken an in person class too, but those other manuals used to be provided to us (if I remember right?). I don't recall having to pay for anything besides USPAP in the prior 11-12 versions I've had to buy. I remember showing up to class an manuals being handed out. At this time I don't have one more dollar to spend on what they've turned into a gig job.

Yes, the NC State Appraisal Board pay for USPAP and manuals. They did this time also. Problem was something broke down in communications to NC Appraisers. According to Bob I. AQB Guy, Apparently not all of us were notified. The way he talked they were aware of it...but apparently did not do a follow up.

I didn’t know that, but that sucks. I’d have taken it, from either bob or someone else, but they alls aid we had to buy manuals, etc. I just don’t have the extra money. I’d much rather do in person class. I don’t mind paying extra for the room, etc, but not more books.

Oh, okay. Your a realtor also? LOL

I have to be, to get access to Realtracs. But a realtor in name only. I don't sell property (except my own).

That does sound like the old times I did not know about this offering, so I signed up and took it in late December in the middle of some time off from my day job.

The perfect Christmas gift, lol

I hope the weather there is not as bad as it is in Memphis right now. It will be many no shows.

We are not used to this stuff. Largest county in TN has very few snow plows.

Many areas got about 6 inches of snow. 0-10 degree temps.

Yeah, water pipes bursting in many places.

TVA said cut everything off except necessity or we will start
doing rolling blackouts on electricity.

Most people locally got new digital electric meters recently where they can just punch
a button and knock the electricity out and then roll to a different area.

They don't warn you either or didn't last time. Like save your appraisal report before
we knock your power out.

On old electric meters, some people in last blackouts had old meters and Memphis Light

Gas and Water could not restart them automatically. One guy said it took him

7 days to get electricity back.

I lived in Memphis during the big ICE storm of 91, Hurricane Elvis, and the big flood. Snow accumulation is much more here. It melted a little in the sun but it's 16 degrees so roads are crazy. I made it across town yesterday for an appraisal. It's a foot deep north of town, they have snow plows but only major streets are clear. Taking comp photos was nuts.

I wish I had known about that class. It would have been great to take it locally from Mike. I worked with him a lot back in the day. Great guy.

Message me your preferred email DW, and I’ll add you to our email list. We’ve been hosting two days of continuing education courses for decades every January. (including the required USPAP update every 2 year cycle.). Sorry you didn’t know.

I seem to remember paying for the book, but it wasn't required. Years (decades) ago.
