I spoke to an appraiser (turns out he's a Cert Gen) who works for an AMC (would that be a staff appraiser???) He had looked over my report, etc. He had a question about my report (the acceptance of a bathroom located in a garage - FTR "not uncommon" in the neighborhood). As we were talking he mentioned that he had not done any field work since 2000. I respected his insight (it became clear that he was my senior) but still...with all due respect... Really? You haven't been in the field since 2000 but... IDK. Maybe I'm just a "young" 30 something. What really p****d me off was when I asked his opinion regarding the new CU criteria and he started talking about "increasing markets"
