Curious, because Joe Joaquin is a financial expert with more experience in his field than you.  It may be a good idea to actually look at the content and people behind them before the ad hominem attacks.

Great showing.  Many of us however, don&#039;t want our political views to interfere with our working careers.  At this point an effective argument can be made that you may be unable to provide impartial service based on other peoples political views and points of view in general.  Good luck.]]></description>

Slander? Typical clueless statement. You are obviously clueless of macro economics, subprime CDOs &#038; CDSs, and (R) recession history too.

No surprise since you push &#038; promote anti vaccine propaganda, disinformation, and misinformation to other brainwashed peeps.

Patriot archives for &quot;so called&quot; conservatives is typical of your slanted nonsense.]]></description>

If only it was as simple as blaming one person, or one party.  When it comes to non stop money printing, the endless expansion of government, we have a truly non partisan system.  Save the political slander for twitter.  It&#039;s up to each of us individually to break the programming which implants an incessant need to be the constant antagonist.  Shouting red blue red blue accomplishes nothing.

					<description><![CDATA[I have a hard time seeing how this type of desktop report is going to be faster or cheaper. First you have at least two, the person doing the site inspection and the appraiser and possibly three if a third party is measuring the subject, who have schedules that need to be coordinated. Then once the party inspects the property, they need to put the information into a usable format and send it to the appraiser, who then needs to review it and verify the information against public, MLS, etc. records. The same would hold true for the measurements if completed by a third party. Time is still being taken to drive to the subject property, do the inspection, take pictures, measure the improvements, check public, MLS and other records, prepare the report and submit it. To say nothing of the additional recordkeeping. If a discrepancy is found, who will verify the correct information. The person who inspected the home, the person who measured the home or the appraiser whose name and license is on the line. Someone will need to make another trip to the property and most likely the appraiser who should want to make sure they have the correct information. What about billing, right now the lender receives one invoice from an appraiser and under this plan they will get three invoices. Speaking of three, you will now have three office related expenses, software expenses, insurance, vehicle, equipment, living wage to cover for three individuals versus the single appraiser. 

My guess is you will see some of the turn and burn type appraisers who will end up hiring unlicensed individuals to do the field work and probably complete the majority of the report imputing, prior to the licensed appraiser putting the final touches on it. Why not allow licensed trainees to complete the field work while the supervising appraiser is in the office preparing reports. Much quicker, cheaper and a more controlled chain of responsibility.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Appraiser Liability, FEE &#038; Turn Time Expectations.
Having performed enough of the Covid Desktops, they take longer to diligently complete &#038; the Fee necessary for the Amount of Time involved was Higher than the a 1004 Fee. 

IN the VERY least: Just a Few- Thoughts:
*COVID Exceptions would need to continue with the 2022- Hybrids. Extra Extra &quot;&quot; Extra-Ordinary Assumptions &quot;&quot; would need to be given- compliance. Extra exterior photos of conditions &#038; improvements, interior photos indicating- per room condition examples, measurements, etc. would need to be &quot;date-taken disclosed&quot;, along with the &quot;inspectors name &#038; contact information&quot; &#038; a copy of the Inspectors E&#038;O with proof of same provided. ( I have mine. They should have theirs! Will they have a license? Any THING they would be liable for? ) 
  
*Those that ORDER HYBRIDS would need to be thoroughly Educated on the Liabilities of the Form Use, service, &#038; the Form Instructions. 
How many times has a Stern-Request Via the Lender&#039;s Rep to essentially overlook USPAP &#038; Appraisal Guidelines for a 2055 Form happened? Are we not to use Source information Found Credible for the &quot;current date of the report&quot;?  (Lenders Reps&#039; tend to have an Employer Mentality. When an appraiser with best effort attempts to explain the circumstances, they just Cancel the Order and assign it to those that will. Actually, I&#039;ve LOST lenders over the Order Rep&#039;s ignorance &#038; stance.)  
    
 * I foresee Many &quot;In-House Appraisers&quot; (Lender-AMC-Owned Appraisers) completing the majority and where the Left-Overs are farmed out with CHEAP &#038; FAST expectations, performed by Starving Appraisers who must accept LESS than Fair Fees. An appraiser&#039;s Fee Schedule doesn&#039;t really exist in the Real World. 
How much will the Lender-AMC &quot;pocket&quot;??? Will that BE disclosed &#038; separated from the Appraiser-Retained Fee?  

 ** Except in certain Rural Areas, there is NOT a shortage of appraisers. 

*So, if this becomes the Norm&#039;...there WILL be many appraisers who just can&#039;t survive on Half a Fee &#038; needing triple the amount of orders to make up the difference.  

Fannie Mae&#039;s Data Chomp has in excess of 5,000,000 appraisals &#038; algorithms in abundance. The Time has finally arrived: The sky is Falling! 
  
Finally, they finally have found a Way to get rid of US. Next Step: Desk Top Algorithm Services, like a Zillow. We all know just HOW GREAT that... IS NOT.]]></description>

Thank you.  Would be interested to hear more regarding real world experience with this.  Many in the field origination focused appraisers only can read about hybrids.  My vote is for insurers to place this sort of work under a different separate coverage policy.  There is entirely different engagement and liability dynamics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a subject matter expert, 20 years plus of appraisal experience, desktop appraisals and national reviewer. Almost 5 years of completing more than 1 type of Hybrid appraisals, interacting with different agencies that were hired to hire someone to do the site inspections and completing enhanced desktop and 2055 appraisals for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I know first hand the process and the up&#039;s &#038; downs. The one thing that most bothers me, and what I think needs a hard, hard look, is the lack of money appraisers actually make. Consider, the headaches of dealing with unethical real estate agents, (not all) and never ending &quot;i need it back yesterday&#039;s&quot; Appraiser are extremely under paid!!!  If the banks want to lower cost, Then mandate a flat fee for agents, and no more commissions for loan officers, Remember, appraisers are responsible for the valuation for 5 years afterwards. Agents/brokers forget about the deal after closing. So I employ every appraiser across the country stand-up for your fees and demand more. Everything cost more, agents make hundreds of thousands a year, appraisers 60 to 100k maybe, and that&#039;s working 55 to 60 hour weeks. Remember, the appraisal type may change, but the appraiser responsibility, E&#038;O, MLS Software and others do NOT...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I did a minimum of inspecting them from the exterior during the pandemic and made the homeowners send me photos of every inch of the house. The liability is a bit much for me, so I don’t think I would do them unless I had done a prior report on the house in the last few years and it was in good condition.
