UAD 3.6 discussion

[Dublin ohio]

Oh, nevermind ...

The form looks like checkboxes with drop down check boxes. No more narrative they say. You can only comment if there is some thing bad.

The new UAD takes a different approach to commentary. Unlike today’s URAR, the new UAD has no large, generic comment fields like the one near the top of page 3. Instead, it is designed to capture information as discrete data elements using check boxes and drop-down menus. This reduces the need for appraisers to convey information through narrative comments.

Appraisers are not expected to make general statements that do not directly support their analysis. Rather, narrowly focused comment fields are embedded in each section of the new appraisal report. These comment fields are conditional, meaning the decision whether or not to comment is driven by the appraiser’s response to a prompt question. Often, the prompt response will indicate the need for a comment based on impact; no impact would normally require no comment. When additional comments are made, they should be limited to explanations essential to understanding that particular topic and which could not be captured by the defined data elements.

? Who wrote the above?
I assume there will still be a blank addendum page to add narrative comments.

It looks like they also want brief comments addressing specifics in the report. But I am speculating. Like everyone else—has not done one yet.

There are expandable comment fields in every major section of the report. That may not be apparent to someone looking only at the resulting static output (the report) that results from the dynamic data set.

Here you go kids, read and figure it out.

First thing I would do is basics like move the Comp #4 page following the Comp #1-3 page.
Then I would move the addendum pages right after the comp pages. Those pages should not be buried into the report.
I briefly looked at the new form and so much changes to criticize.
Fernando could have done so much better.

Comments just go into the main body of the report in the applicable section. No more addendum pages.

But where do I put "see addendum" for all of my canned statements?

I am thoroughly confused.

Oh no! You mean we now do not have a blank addendum page to add narrative comments that may not fit elsewhere?
Why?

You've got to take into account that Fernando reads the last chapter of a book first
