Riots Minneapolis and St Paul: as related to appraisals

It doesn't alter the fact that the verbiage was blatantly appropriated from the intersectionality script.
 
Back on topic:

as related to appraisals
 
Of course I'll do business in these areas. The only thing that will delay me will be the temporary curfews and police-enforced roadblocks and no-go zones. I was at ground zero for the Rodney King Riots 3 days after they restored order, and although it was a little tense nobody threatened me.

Regardless of the anti-social actions of the militants, the normal people in those areas still need services of all types, including their legal and financial transactions. And they need service providers who are conscientious, diligent and competent to do it and who will follow the data and not any personal concerns they may or may not hold. For example, even if I thought the area was going into decline I would never say something like that in an appraisal report unless that's how the data was going. That would be horrifically unethical.

As an appraiser you are not going to get hassled for doing your job. If someone jams you all you have to do is tell them you're appraising this property for this property owner which is their neighbor because they're trying to get their property financed. Maybe ask them if they know of any houses that have rented in the neighborhood because your appraisal assignment includes a rental survey. That always works. Get in/out before 11:00 AM and you'll be fine. The street scenes don't tend to get more animated until after the crooks get their first couple of 40s in them.
Love that we daily see posts by those that are part of the problem.
Pittsburgh- Your Governor doesn't consider appraisers ( YOU ) to be an-essential service. So you sit in your home day and night and don't do inspections. Out here in the West we consider guys like you to be arm-chair quarterbacks. Its easy to run your social justice hot-line while the rest of the appraisal troops are boots on the ground. So you are part of the problem, your not working so go out and do some work in your community, paint over graffiti, sweep up glass, hold hands with some protestors and be part of the solution. BUT since you have no street smarts and are easy pickings for gang members and anarchist , get home the minute you hear the first gun shot because social warriors usually dont do real-good in wars or riots.

:popcorn:Your ignorance of our situation in PA is fairly amusing. Appraisers have always been able to appraise land; we were not allowed to enter buildings until a week or so ago. Have completed two land appraisals (one a 66 lot subdivision) and an exterior inspection only of a banquet facility since the lockdown. Not as busy as we'd like but still working and not sitting at home.

And what exactly is the problem you reference? Crazy posters from the west Coast? :rof:

Your idiotic posts are fairly amusing--keep it up as the daily laugh at your expense is precious. I look forward to your deranged posts.

None of us have any control over the decisions these local authorities have been making. There's no point in ilking PP for the mere fact that his local authorities have taken a harsher stance on appraisal activities.

If I'm out in the field and I hear shots then I'm heading back, too.

Well that contradicts your post from the other day - When you stated that appraisers were not considered essential services in PA and you never mentioned that land appraisals are allowed.

We were not essential which prevented us from entering buildings. Working from the street or on vacant land is a whole 'nother issue, don't ya think? And where's the contradiction? We were deemed non-essential.
 
Just talked to my friend in Bloomington, MN. He's heading to "Powderhorn" area in S Minneapolis for an inspection
