Hey now.......

Well, more serious things to deal with.

UAD 3.6 will be more "clunky" than the 1004. Alamode will no longer allow uploading Excel spreadsheets.

Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac just want very standardized input from residential appraisers. They don't want accuracy outside their pre-defined scope; they don't want your opinion; they don't want anything out of the ordinary. And they want appraisers strictly handled through AMCs.

So, FM/FM is a machine. Totally.

UAD 3.6 is a dumb machine. Totally.

UAD 3.6 is clunky, and it's time-consuming.

I don't see it as a way to get rich, for sure.

=====

Rather, I would be looking around for just about everything else to do in appraisal, such as supporting attorneys, right-of-way (not necessarily all that profitable), Ag (not necessarily that profitable), and so on and so forth (not necessarily that profitable).

=====

Good opportunities are getting harder to find for most people. The world is aging. Things are going downhill, generally speaking.

.... So, what do you think?


[Well, we can sit around and listen to the BS about UAD 3.6. ... the squeaky high-pitched "fatty" on YouTube talking about the wonders of UAD 3.6. ....]

CU has always been about lenders trying to hammer a square peg property into a round hold of a loan program.

All this might not matter or help you keep your job as an appraiser. Think about it. Why do we have PDR dudes and dudettes?

Because I do accurate interior floor plans with Chief Architect, picking up all details, in large and unique homes, I find that when I get back to the office, my plan hits a problem, and I don't have a picture to reference, and I also don't quite remember some detail of what I saw. So, as a result, I will often first go through a house with a GoPro (quickly) and video everything 360" room to room - as backup for my memory. Then I go through and take photos. If I have a family inside when doing this, i.e., people occupying rooms, then I will do both at the same time, room by room. That works pretty well. Of course, you can't include a video in your report, and the individual frame resolution and quality aren't good. So, I need both. The camera is strapped around my neck, and I have one of those photographers' vests with all the pockets - a good place to put the GoPro. I could use an iPhone. But that is my backup!

A Canon R6 by itself is not that much of a problem. But once you put a flash like the Godox V1c on it, plus a 15mm-35mm Canon Zoom, it can be bulky and a bit heavy for some. But I still lift weights at 78 (I used to be a heavyweight lifter 25-30 years ago). And, I really hate to admit it, but I am getting old, slowly but surely and too fast for my comfort. And can not believe I jog so slowly. I used to run almost daily, running 10 miles at a 6-minute pace. I am a lot slower now. I still run. But now I have to ask: How much longer? Anyway....

Yes, do appraisals with a photo jacket with big pockets and straps hanging all over, a Canon R6 with flash and lens, a GoPro, a Laser meter, a clipboard and pens, an engineering-accurate tape, .... And not to forget the drone setup for aerials.

Then, I get back to the office and, hopefully, do not have to go back out to the property. ...

What, no red dot laser glasses?

This is pretty much a "when" is this going to happen not an "if" it's going to happen.

It's an equation of who's going to survive the "grey" area? That area of the progress where money is still needed. You don't have a job because AI is taking over, but universal income hasn't started being distributed yet. Or, currency isn't eliminated yet either.

There's going to be a revolution and or revolts changing from the old ways to the new.

The problem is that we have a ton of white collar "managers" in our workforce who are nothing more than narcissistic "Walter Mitty" fat pigs who live in a virtual dream world that they are experts at what they do. It was simply too time-consuming for experts to prove them wrong. Now with AI, they become exposed for what they are: charlatans and hooligans. They will lose their jobs with time, since they are not only useless but also hinder productivity. [[ Examples: I can think of all the X who spout statistical methods left and right that are totally bogus. ]] With AI, I have the time to generate all the data and arguments needed to finally put them to rest, which I will do with time.
