You're an idiot with a JGrant level of reading proficiency. Read the passage again in context. The "before" refered to therein was pre-USPAP and pre-licensing when the reviewers were always right strictly as a function of their job title, not because they were actually right. A reference to a lawless environment that prevailed prior to bringing everyone under regulation per a common standard.
I haven't changed. It was wrong 35 years ago for lenders to dictate the meaning of MV and it's still wrong today. That's nowhere on the same planet as a user having additional requirements that they think are meaningful to their usage.
GH -The creation of the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) by Congress was a direct response to the S&L bailout of the 1980s. The federal government and the American Taxpayers were forced to protect the assets of depositors of failing lending institutions. The former model of market-driven appraisal regulation, which relied solely on client preferences, was proven to be a spectacular failure."Meaningful and not misleading to intended users". Not "highest possible value you can support" which is what many of your MBs demanded. And got.
Fully agree. Alway room for improvement when it comes to form design and content. No form is perfect. Sometimes more is not better. But for the most part less is just less and most times insufficientThe reason I keep chipping on the forms is because I think a lot of appraisers work to the forms (SR2 drives the SR1). As opposed to making the forms work for them. Therefore, promulgating better forms has the potential to result in more analyses and/or better analyses.
