Your job is to do it for free and address the endless stips“It has required the engagement and investment of everyone: software providers, lenders, "APPRAISERS", appraisal management companies,
I write my reports from front to back, and I never divert to narrative addenda. If I don't address an issue relating to my site attributes in the site section of my report that means I didn't address it anywhere in my report. My readers never have to embark on the easter egg hunt to figure out where I addressed exposure time or HBU or anything else. They're always addressed in the same spot in every report I write. That's one alternate example of how a report form can be structured for both the writer and the reader. The current GSE variants on their 2-pg 1970s URAR are not the only way to structure a report form.
The new UAD is asking for more subject data. More data is more data regardless of the format of the printout. Just because the pdf examples were printed out in what basically looks like a narrative format doesn't mean that any (or all) of the software vendors are going to do the same with their renderings.

They also crashed the US economy in 2008 and we still have to listen and "trust us bro" them.they created the forms...now they don't like their forms...and they blame the appraisers for the problem i cant stop laughing![]()
