We paid a typist $1/page, usually with overnight service. She was a retired secretary who typed for several of the small fee shops.I typed out thousands of these in the 1980s on my Juki with micro adjust to get the “X” centered in the box. I had multiple pinwheels such that I could switch to a smaller font when needed.
Three comps and out with no fluff addendums or photos of the CO or water heater. I’d guess loan losses due to appraisals are no worse then than now.
When I worked at the bank I made a side deal with one of our "admin. asst" to type off of dictation. If I did all of my calculation pages by hand and knew what I wanted to say I could dictate a narrative in about 30 minutes.
