Well! That was certainly a fun 24 hours! Such passion in this thread!
Mr. Hatch.... I would respectfully request that you wait until I release the final report on my "Data Cancer" analysis. It will be out in January.
Please review and then feel free to crucify me at will.
Since you were able to find my home, my backyard, and my deer, I'm sure it would have been easy for you to locate my email and phone number as well. I think a true professional would have reached out privately to ask questions instead of obnoxiously thrashing me on this forum.
We may have had a nice constructive conversation. I may have invited you to visit my beloved Cincinnati and had you over for dinner at my home. I could have served you a steaming plate of smoked venison with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. But... sadly that didn't happen.... and that's my loss.
I do appreciate you spending nearly 24 hours on this topic. I would estimate a certified general appraiser in Carlsbad probably commands a billing rate of $400.00 per hour, so I figured you spent $9600.00 worth of energy and professional time on.... well... me.
I'm honored but I'm not going to pay that invoice. I recommend sending it to the GSE's. They'll pay it. Don't forget to include a copy of your W-9.
To everyone else... This is my first post on A.F. and I want to say thank you for listening to the show for the past ten years!
Kevin and I will continue advocating for the appraisal profession and we have a great line up scheduled for 2025!
We truly appreciate you listenership!
Happy Holidays!
