I still hate ANSI

Why would above grade area be counted separately and how would the upper level be the first floor? SMH. How does this "appraiser" still have a license?

That's how brainwashed Fannie appraisers think. Let them be followers and stick to the rigid rules.
Before I would do more than my peers. I actually would go to building department and check permits on each comp to better understand the gross area provided by data sources.
Current gross area from data sources was not original gross area when built.
Since peers don't check property added gross area history and it is time consuming, the new way to appraise is follow what Fannie wants and work around it in my appraisal analysis.
If new UAD 3.6 is sufficient for Fannie, no need for me to do anything more. Fannie is telling us how to appraise in which anyone can do it.

Welcome to scope creep. I'm sure the waivers and AVM's have to measure through ANSI also LOL.

So tell us brainwashed Fannie appraisers, how many non gse appraisals you do a year

To work around the constraints of Fannie Mae, I adapt and have to include more comps. Ugh.

So in other words, instead of using sales that are not truly comparable to your subject you are forced to find sales that really are

Of course, you need more help. You were taught to do it one way without thinking. I'd been doing appraisals longer than you.

Don't be so sure of yourself. You might have been an "appraiser" longer than me, but not necessarily doing "appraisals" longer than me
