The New USPAP

[Charles West]

I wonder how long it would take Fernando to memorize USPAP if you hit him across the face with it whenever he asks a stupid question about it?

 

[Terrel L. Shields]

You can't understand what you've never studied.

I know 2 USPAP instructors who were sanctioned for violations. Now, do I need to say that both had their license revoked? Do I need to add I can think of 2 board members that were also sanctioned? If USPAP was simple, straight-forward, and unchanging, then more people would know the difference. I doubt any of the 4 above THOUGHT THEY WERE VIOLATING USPAP...mind you one of them used to post here. He and his wife both lost their license.

The book is not well written and leaves a lot to be desired to be a credible and easily understood book. It is as opaque as Tax regulations. Having black and white rules in a sea of gray scale means too many situations are neither easy to divine nor are they going to be interpreted the same by everyone. We need only go the USPAP section here to see that. Add to that mix the overlay of rules from FHA, FNMA, etc and you have a real can of worms.

If USPAP was easy to understand, AMC would not have sent me the order.
AMC thought I was qualified. If declined. I wouldn't be surprised if another CR accept the order.

So you think the AMC is qualified to research the subject property and determine whether or not you are qualified. SMH

If not, AMCs are useless.
After I declined, I gave the reason of the commercial issue. Don't know if AMC took my free advice.

An AMC ought to know the difference between a CG and CR...but not an USPAP issue.

Again, The index includes the indexes to 3 sections...Sections you have to thumb thorough to find. They could have tabbed the sections couldn't they? And the reference index is a joke. Glossary...gloss the **** thing so people can find a section or common word. Can you even search the CD? I mean I had one once and it was more or less pictures of the pages and 'find' could not find anything. Pitiful. Just plain pitiful...and, of course the ever changing standards that come and go not - chiseled in stone next issue....separate document. And no ring binder so it will lay flat on the desk.

What was the order for?

 

[Fernando]

What was the order for?

1004.
If AMC had checked on street scene, they should have seen the commercial influence.

You really have no idea how the system works. No surprise there

Even the searchable PDF is a mess. Oh well got to keep those printing presse going to fill up that bank account.
