Letter From FNMA 'Baptist' can't be in report...

I never tell appraisers what to do. I just advocate that it is also in their own best interests to do as best they can to meet the legitimate interests of their client/users. Of which "please don't expose us to getting sued" can be argued to be a legitimate interest.

Do you want to win or not?
 
Just got flagged for 'American'......

Looks like ANSI will be changing their name soon.
 
once they ban one word...they will never stop

Its not the 'legitimate' interest of any client (which implies a human being), its a computer...which I can discern easily, because I have intelligence.

I do not believe that FNMA regulation pertaining to racism or prejudice is meant to be misconstrued into indicating an appraiser can't name a college or university by its actual name, within a report. Yet FNMA computers are churning out letters threatening us for doing just that. So I don't understand why anyone would defend it.

Its a joke and should be mocked by all of us as such.

Why are you second guessing "legitimate: interest of client?
If client doesn't want it, then follow what they want.
 
Too bad that I live next to and appraise on an Indian Reservation.
 
When you appraise on Indian Reservation land, do you state in your report the ramifications on being in Indian Reservation land. I'm not familiar.
