					<description><![CDATA[We&#039;re no longer listening and are no longer interested in the appraisers are racist story.  Propagated by the lending industry and their hopeful ladder climbing underlings, as they seek to drive up low income residents housing pricing for even less home ownership and even more residential debt.  To lenders, more debt = more profit.  Therefore, higher pricing is good!  Enter the supposed fair housing advocates whom are only coincidentally funded by the same lenders who would make those higher priced home loans a reality.

Because when you are trying to buy a home, the first thing you say is;  &quot;Can we pay a higher price for the house?&quot;  Or perhaps you say;  &quot;The government should really be forcing me to pay a higher purchase price on this home, I object to this lack of government price intervention on behalf of higher seller pricing.&quot;  Because higher pricing is exactly what impoverished supposedly underprivileged people request on a normal basis.  One is a special kind of ignorant to buy into the narrative that more debt will equal better financial prosperity, that reductions in purchasing power equate to financial success.  Governments are not thrifty, and neither are lenders.  They deal with other peoples money and other peoples risk.  If you confuse money with wealth and think borrowing more increases your financial position...  There is the low information aspect of monetary education again.

We could look to examples in other parts of the world for comparisons of wealth vs poverty.  Get some more realistic and grounded perspective.  The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, as debt builds and the fed&#039;s balance sheet expands at a record pace.  There are no coincidences in the world of central banking and fiat money management. 

Vote with your wallet.  Vote with your feet.  Vote with your time. This is not about helping the impoverished, this is about monetizing activism, carving out successful high paying careers from social justice activism.  T.E.A.  Taxed Enough Already.  These activists forgot about hearts and minds, instead going straight for the jugular and wallet.  If you require the force of government to promote your cause, you really have no worthy cause at all.  These things end up crushing under their own weight, but only after the human cost has outweighed whatever progress they hoped to make.  Someone is going to get rich over this and I assure you, it will not be the ground level people these advocates had claimed they wanted to assist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m currently working a VA appraisal that has a purchase price of one million, however based on my opinion and I think  strong and supported evidence (comps on same street, inside same PUD, etc.), the market value is $920,000. Why the male listing agent had to work into the conversation his life partners name (Stan), and the new owners are of a certain skin color, is beyond me. 

Does not coming in at value make me a racist, and if so, am I discriminating against the gay agent, the current Latino owner, or the veteran wanting to buy the property? This is a serious question.

Its apparently no longer our role to seek the truth and report it, but rather the truth now needs to be filtered through others eyes/view on racism. 

I hope the lender doesn&#039;t ask why a section of the garage is blurred out on this one (Black Lives Matter sign), as again I wouldn&#039;t know if I&#039;m a racist for doing it. For the record, I always blur out every political sign, the owners view on society issues, and most every flag unless its a nation, and or state flag. 

Seek the truth.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Not one single point provides any evidence to the appraiser engaging in a racist act… No appraisal reports or actual evidence of racism has been produced by the accuser… Not one single case has been presented to the appraisal state boards…&quot; [Dean Merriweather]

VERY CLEAR

FROM A PREVIOUS POST

https://mfi-miami.com/2020/10/racist-florida-home-appraiser/

My comment: Busted??? Who was busted??? There is NO reference of who was “busted”...Where is the evidence?

MY MOST RECENT COMMENT:

There were [as of today 11-23-2020 --1300 HRS] 136 comments made in a previous article by the author. At some times, there were many arguments between appraisers....

I say it is TIME to concentrate our efforts in making the TRUTH be known by the PUBLIC!!!!

People want answers, but I say it is wrong when they believe quickly and blindly in something that is NOT factual and above all lacks logic
and supported evidence just because they say so.

There are too  many who DO NOT UNDERSTAND that an appraisal IS NOT the number needed in a file in order to make a deal go through...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Big tech trying to figure out how to force their flawed products on our banking system. Im sure someone said in a meeting “if we just call them racist like the Democrats did to Trump  maybe we can force the government to remove appraisers from the process”. Isn’t it funny to see all these people that cry racism are the ones who are truly racist? Appraiser’s should be outraged at these false accusations. I have been on this planet 55 yrs and have yet to meet a single white racist? Oddly when working is certain neighborhoods i have been called names, attempted car jacking, held up at gun point. Even with all that im still not racist. My mixed kids will attest to that! Good luck to the libtard media and organizations promoting this fraud. Only god can judge you for your lies and manipulation! Have a blessed thanksgiving!]]></description>
