Now you see the big picture.
The golden rule.
The golden rule.
I don't think the code was secret.
But nevertheless. Why did the software providers simply conform?
They can still make the decision to QUIT today.
For profit business's tend to produce products that are in demand. You can quit feeding the GSE machine today too. Why ask someone else to go out of business, a business much bigger than your own, for your whims?
Another angle to look at is maybe FNMA won't have the last laugh.
They have tons and tons of incorrect data due to the absolute rating scale in an appraisal world where no such thing as absolute but only relative.
I rate most things Q4, I've seen tons and tons of reports where appraisers rate my Q4's Q3's and 2's.
I've seen tons of appraisals that rate 10 year old stuff C2's and even 1 year lived in C1's. Tons of my C3' are others C1's,2, and 4's.
It's a beautiful thing. They have millions of data on homes and it is all incorrect or at the very best, unable to decipher what is correct.
Now it may take another recession for them to find this out, but one day they will. All that data did absolutely nothing, and that is absolute.
When 1 house is appraised 10x's by 10 different appraisers and it has been untouched yet the rating vary from Q2-Q4 and C2's-C4 and not in a depreciatied way and the value was all within 10%.
They have a major, major problem on their hands. As they spent who knows what and what lies to whom. All a dirty little secret that will one day come out.
