Negative external depreciation = proximity to RR track. Are any other houses located close to the tracks? If so, how much did they sell for compared to houses...
OK, here's where I have to chime in. Don may or may not be married to Freda, and it is not uncommon in our area to have an appraiser and a broker in the same...
I have to agree with Tim. We have several subs near me with homes backing to the tracks (but only 5 or 6 trains/day). You've gotta used paired sales for the...
Tim, I thought the words "Bad Spot" would bring a chuckle from everyone, however for those who have not dealt with an Underwriter before, don't say bad spot ...
Bob, I saw your humor and even offered a chuckle. (Good thing I am the only one in the office today!) Chris A. Graham Graham Company ... From: rcaappraisal...
Ok, maybe talking to many underwriters, has made me start thinking like one. Man, I can not believe I am said that. I see the humor, after reading the email...
Been working too hard here - the "funny" zoomed right over my head - sigh - now i'm laughing! Am sometimes a "smart aleck" in some of my addendum comments but...
Was contacted by Appraisers Direct and was offered a quote. Would like any information from appraisers who are using their service. Good, bad, ugly ? [Non-text...

After, once again, sending my installment on the exorbitant due to continue my designation with the appraisal institute, I'm really beginning to wonder WHY....
Although I'm happy to remain an associate member of the Institute, they tend to like to "slip things by" - like hiding in the fine print that even if you've...
Hi Jay - I paid MY AI dues! Probably like you I have an on-going Love/Hate relationship with the Appraisal Institute and I can argue either side of the...
Brian, thanks for all the information and I hope you have a great New Year. It is so great to have a database of fellow appraisers with such a wealth of...
Hi Patty - As a follow-up . . I installed QuickBooks on my wife's laptop so that she could "keep the books" on our rental property. During the install...
Jay, I too have the Love/Hate syndrome. Last year I hesitated past the due date, then sent an installment, then another and another until it was paid. Even...
Jay, I paid right away. The AI provided a process/path, which allowed me to better myself. I am a better appraiser, because I earned the SRA. I can take on...

I need help in using my new Disto. If you're expert and willing to offer advice, I would like to call you. I think it might be easier by phone than email. Send...
OK, everybody, this topic should provoke some discussion! I am currently running Windows 98 on a standalone machine. I am about to convert to Windows XP &...
Sarah, While I'm far from an expert in networking, here has been my experience: I have Athena on my laptop as the "main" computer - it's a fairly robust ...
Sarah, First, the idea of remote desktop. I would really shy away from this as an option. Speeds just do not exist for this option to occur. We use to get...

I think that the reason the server isn't supposed to be a workstation is that Athena is a hog. Workstations have Yahoo messenger, guru, quickbooks, outlook,...
Sarah - You've been getting some really good advice here from some of the other forumites. 1. If you are contemplating a server/workstation network rather than...
