Tell me all about being a Property Data Collector?

[J Grant]

Many older appraisers will be doing these as many have physical disabilities and no longer desire to do full inspections . I dont care what they do or do no make as its none of my business. This is a Lone Wolf life and if $1,200 a month works god bless you.

If an appraiser has a physical disablity they will not do the PDC inspection which is a field inspection. They may do the appraisal part on a hybrd or a desktop

Don't care which part they do its a business decision not ours

As this system takes picks up steam, the AMCs will take charge like they always have. They will work the PDCs against each other to charge lower fees. The race to the bottom taken a major shortcut this year.

My guess is fee will end up being about 50/50 of the total fee. Once the waivers and other products take a bigger and bigger piece of the pie the Appraisal license will not have much
value and for most the traditional appraisal will not be a viable full time career.

From all the posts generated on the AF....
That started happening since Jan, 2023....

Hopefully that will be short lived....

Just do it to get out of the house. Plus, nothing better than walking through a POS, or a ranch in the middle of a two story neighborhood, or a true Pittsburgh row house with kitchen and bathroom in the basement and knowing I DON'T have to write it up. Again, it won't be around for long. Can't make a living doing it.

Of course you're retired. That "former SRA" is not making enough to pay for their overpriced designation anymore? Hard times, indeed.

He dumped it after the AMC Takeover. He does a ton, usually turns down work. The other guy has mobility issues and it's perfect for him. I would never risk my certification appraising a property I didn't walk through. But, hey, some appraisers are trusting me!!
