Where Do You Think "geographic Competency" Begins And Ends?

I don't deny the fact that I used to practice law and no longer do, so your post is not germane to anything regarding appraisals.

In case you have not noticed, this is an appraisal forum and if you have anything you wish to discuss about appraisals and appraising in an intelligent manner, I will be glad to to discuss those things with you, otherwise, there really is not much point in engaging in conversation with you.

Do you have an appraisal license in all 50 states? Be careful.

You don’t like Louisiana and Tennessee do you? Are we too conservative for you? Lol

You have the right to remain silent. Lol

Louisiana is on a Antitrust hunt. @timd354 , you are the rabbit.

If you want to cook barbecued cottontails, do it in a crockpot. Some of the best rabbit I ever had was just the backs cooked in an old fashioned crockpot.

Slow and easy. It’s the southern way.

I can show you how to skin a rabbit. My first skin was about age 10. There is more than one way to skin a rabbit.

While I appreciate your obviously genuine concern regarding my licensing status, I do not need to have a license in all 50 states since I don't appraise or review in 50 states.

I am not in Louisiana and I do not order appraisals, so I am not sure what any of that would have to with me, at least in the real world.

If you were to visualize all the requirements and expectations of any assignment performed under USPAP as looking like a pyramid,

USPAP is covered by the dross of the crumbling facade of a pyramid of obtuse requirements which are unnecessary to produce credible results. Post-report stips comprise a significant part of those, and mostly serve to punish appraisers into conforming into the clients desire to control the appraisal process.

they need to adhere to for meaningful/ credible results apart from what the users think is meaningful

Reliance on a minimal value means the bankers goal is far from the appraisers minimum requirements. Many rules made beyond USPAP appear intended to neutralize same and shifting liability off on appraisers

An appraiser must not allow assignment conditions to limit the scope of work

I argue the very purpose of many formerly aka "supplemental standards" are intended to do exactly that by obfuscating the SOW. Fannie's form SOW is what? one sentence? But in truth their requirements are dozens of tidbits found in their guidelines as well as obscure letters.

You don’t appraise in any states do you? Lol

Nervous, are you? Lol.

That’s where Antitrust law will rule. Talk to the Tennessee appraiser coalition. They are nice.

I find it weird Danny don’t refer you to them in this thread. He is a home boy.

I moved from one area of the state to another one year. I started doing appraisal work and called up a number of appraisers to ask them if I could pick their brains from time to time. I studied the MLS, studied the area, etc and the other guys were amazed at how quickly I picked up the nuances of the market. Also when i was at one end of the state I started doing appraisals in Minnesota due to lack of appraisers in that region of Minnesota. It wasn’t that hard to become competent. Now it took me longer when I first started doing the appraisals because I had to do more research etc. So getting competency for an experienced appraiser is not a terribly long process IMHO.
