First Hybrid request.

I get the old, but so far lucky in the knee department, I guess.

I had one instance where the inspector found a condition that resulted in me lowering the value of the property.

Don't do that! You won't get any more hybrid assignments.....

Get your certificate to be a PDR collector after passing a 5-hour online class! They are described by Fannie as "professionally trained" and "comprehensively trained. "

The category exists to provide AMCs with a large pool of easily replaceable people who will work cheaply. I understand the average fee for a PDR collection, depending on whether they are exterior only or go inside, ranges between $75 and $125.

Indeed, 5 hours might be all it takes to instruct a person how to walk around a property and take rote photos and check boxes and use an app that scans the rooms to produce a floor plan. How does that stack up against the training an appraiser gets by going on inspections for two years under the supervision of a mentor, and then taking additional hours or coursework throughout their career on construction and the Cost approach, and interacting with builders and contractors over a period of years? I suppose we can sign up for the McIksok class to finally become the equals of the non-appraiser PDR collectors.

That's not all the trainee is learing (sic)
