UAD 3.6 discussion

For a $275 AMC assignment, I’m not going to dig deep into too many manuals on what I need to do to determine market value of a property.
Better put everything in a one page summary because that’s all the effort I’m putting in.

Yep, it looks like one of the cites was a hallucination. Will have to check the oth

I edited post #701. I started to check the cites and found not a single thing was correct. Thanks to DWiley for bringing to everyone's attention the flat-out wrong information in the post. I decided to edit out the misinformation, and make no mistake about it: The post I quoted from LinkedIn is so filled with errors, made up cites, etc. that it can only be described as misinformation. It was not intentional on my part to spread the misinformation but I did repost without checking the cites. For that I apologize. No excuse for that happening, I'm embarrassed and will do better going forward.

Yor're a good man and it is very commendable that you took the time to correct your post..........we have all been guilty (including myself) of posting nonsense in repsonse to other nonsense posted online without checking the veracity of the information that was posted.

Okay, so don't check the spec before you actually do appraisal reports that are supposed to conform with the spec.....I can't wait to hear the howling that you and others like you are going to do when you get stipped to death because your appraial reports don't meet the requirements of the spec.

It seems like none of the software providers area ready and have missed their own deadlines. I read a few comments elsewhere that the new UAD specification keeps changing, which means software providers have to revise their product - meaning, it's a moving target. That's the issue with these top-down initiatives put together by political suites and not practitioners. In software development there's a similar anti-pattern called waterfall development where everything is shoved down from the top.

Update Webinar: UAD 3.6 and NightHawk Software - August 28, 2025​

I attended it live yesterday. Not a whole lot more info than what was in their original short video. I did think the fact that you can use it free through the end of 2025 was a nice offering. I might sign up for beta testing which is supposed to start in October. But I don't like the fact that you will have to be paying for both types of software to do non lender work after full implementation and during the transition since mandatory participation is not until late 2026.

I read that templates would not be possible in any software and then just this morning I read that door height had to be measured to the tenth of a foot.

I’ll be fine.

Sitting through Brian Reynolds' UAD 3.6 class now - it's basically a review of the GSE inspection and reporting requirements under the new UAD. Nothing at all on any kind of software comparison. So - if you're interested in what inspection and reporting changes are coming - not a bad class. If you're expecting any kind of introduction to the softwares from this class (or another like it), you'll be disappointed.
