Measuring and data collection. I was answering th dingdong that made a comment about comps etc.
What other "dirt" would you like? It seems you are asking for those purposes only. And I've seem your other posts and "love" for this type of appraisal
How hard is it to find comps in heavily populated areas, common now. Understand ANSI and measuring correctly is more "difficult" because of that. I didn't say it was hard, but harder to master.
And I see that you’re a very very new member. You’re either a Troll or an actual (appraiser) specimen doing bifurcated hybrids...who wandered in and amenable to talking about your experience.
And you’re right...for all the obvious reasons stated elsewhere- I have no love of these products or the fees being offered by these companies who think Appraisers can maintain or make a decent living doing them for $80.
You mentioned retiring and moving South. If you fall into the category of the “Clear Capital” CFO guy whose pops has a hard time getting around, ie. can’t climb stairs anymore but still has some Appraiser life left in him I get your motivation.
My questions - dirt ? - isn’t dirt also something from which things that sustain life grow?
If you have read the threads you have also read the many questions that are still unanswered - information that’s glossed over by AMCs soliciting Appraisers to do these products.
So if you say you’re doing bifurcated and asking Appraisers on this board for helpful information about states with quick fix trainee requirements, it’s not unreasonable to expect to be asked questions in return.
You wrote: “I do the inspections for the bifurcated appraisals and is a requirement to be a trainee or certified”
I don’t think An Appraiser doing the desktop analysis could/would have credible objections to what you wrote/say your doing and the requirements.
. On the other hand, Harry the Can Collector, notaries, agents with licenses hot off the press, ...different story
