Here’s one for you! 🙂 My son is a doctor, lo and behold his patient is his appraiser. HIPPA laws prevent people from disclosing who their doctor is. USPAP requires Appraisers to disclose any relationship with the owner. A quandary! LOL LOL LOL

And why should they worry when they know us taxpayers will be bailing them out again.

a.k.a. AMC’s. AMC’s need to go the way of the Dodo bird. At the end of the day $500 to $1,000 for an appraisal report is a small price to pay for knowing the asset being secured is worth it to the lender taking the risk. Lender’s should be out fighting for appraisers.

The 18 mortgages were secured by Jared Kuskner’s sister, Nicole Kushner Meyer personally pitching the deal to Freddie Mac. The loans come with unusually lenient terms, including lower APRs than normal, interest only payments for the entire ten-year term. followed by the full principals due in a single balloon payment. If the Kushner Companies default on these loans, Freddie Mac will be out approximately $850 million in 2019 dollars.”

Where….do these people come from that have so much power and influence over appraisers?
