Can't open old file

[Fernando]

I want to open an old 2000 appraisal report but I can't open in Total.
Did Total do an update no longer reading old files?
I have to go to my older computer with WinTotal to see it.

2000 file is the older1004 without UAD. Back then, we had to put more information about the PUD like number of units.
The new form had less info on PUD but I put in comments anyway because the existing form seems lacking.

Maybe alamode web site has a reader app for your antique file.

Who cares- over 20 years ago ?

My subject is on same block. I like to review old files to see if any insights to jog my memory.
Also, I get to see how my appraisals have improved to how good I'm at now.

You should have gotten better because you bave asked 1,323,401 questions on the AF in the last 20 years.

Just a little better.
Some advices have been invaluable. I can do without the haters but it comes along being Fernando.
I like to look at older appraisals giving me info like neighborhood boundaries, housing make up and age, and how prices have increased since then.
It's amazing 10 years ago, some areas I considered a dump with lots of foreclosures now have double in price and the area looks good now.
And I kick myself for not buying during those time when I could have gotten dump prices. Could be even richer now.

you don't save the pdf in your work file? i say this only because you have to give an exact copy of the one you sent, if the state, or HUD, calls upon you. probable the one they call for you had to send in several changes. now which one do they want? and a signed pdf can be changed to whatever. a copy of the one you originally sent, in your work file, might be enough proof that you didn't do the bad appraisal that they are showing you. i speak from experience. HUD investigators carry guns.

I never thought about that.
Good thing when I saved the XLM file to be sent to client, software automatically saves PDF file at same time.

I don't need to try and dig up old stuff for that info.
Besides, the city council changes the official neighborhood council boundaries now and then.
Not that I consider them the last authority on hood boundaries when they pull that crap.
I do wonder who is paying them.
