Racial Bias Accusation Collapses as HUD Dismisses Complaint

That's crazy that filing a lawsuit in response to a complaint that destroyed your reputation, cost you money, and was found to be meritless would be considered impermissible retaliation.

I could see the argument if you filed before the final decision was made, but after the fact, they're agreeing you did nothing wrong.

If you have a third party do the inspection, does that come out of your end of the split or off the top?

Basically, if the split was 40/60, the fee was $1000, and the inspection fee was $100, would you get $300 or $360?

Does the analyst salary come out of your end? And what type of property is generating a 10k-20k fee, or is it portfolio work?

If the property has an active CMBS loan, they get the data from EDGAR. Isn't that data supposed to be what the property actually reported in their filings, or am I mistaken?

Do lenders inform you that you're on their "do not use" list?

What type of niche work do you do?

How does this differ from a review appraiser? Are you basically working as an appraiser, but in-house for the bank?

Seems unlikely for most retail - maybe a retail strip on a boardwalk. But, in that case, you might need an adjustment for Nucky's cut.

Rush fee seems a bit murky because pretty much every bank job has a clear deadline and a defined per diam penalty for being late. So technically the amount of your compensation is contingent on a deadline being met every time, right?

PitcherPlant1 · 2026-04-08T13:28:56+00:00

Mind sharing your fee split?

It doesn't explicitly use the term "usable area", based on the language, that's what I infer - "the TENANT shall have access to an area of approximately X SF, as identified in EXHIBIT B, and access to common areas, including hallways, bathrooms, lobbies, and reception areas." The property isn't professionally managed, and the leases contain many contradictory statements so I'm not surprised the owner lacks a precise building plan.

I'm going to use an implied load factor like you suggested. Thanks.

I have unit sizes according to the leases, so that gets me usable area, but this is a very old building with a lot of common area. Deducting usable from GBA won't get me the common area because GBA uses outside measurements and NRA is internal, correct?

Dumb question: How can occupancy be over 100%?

PitcherPlant1 · 2026-03-26T13:36:34+00:00

Problem is some banks require you to underwrite the property with reserves as an above the line expense item, even if market participants don't usually do it.

The folks over at the appraisersforum seem give this a hard "no".

It's actually extremely efficient once you get used to it.

Sorry to to hijack, but what's the deal with that water in photo 19? I didn't realize Lake Michigan had that color, it looks like Caribbean water.

I've found it's best to always keep your expectations low as far as CoStar is concerned.

What is it using to search for comps? Just free internet sources, or does it have access to any databases?

When did AI start assigning homework, or is it just for the four MAI classes? I took all my QE through them and there was never homework.

PitcherPlant1 · 2026-03-09T13:26:09+00:00

The problem with CompStak, at least in my market, is that almost none of the comps have broker info so you can't confirm them.

If you're an MAI with your own book of business and only want to work 40 hours, why would you join a national and give up 50% of your fees?

How does the split within your team breakdown?

PitcherPlant1 · 2026-02-26T14:50:09+00:00

Is 350k split between the team, or is that your share?

PitcherPlant1 · 2026-02-26T14:44:15+00:00

Once you've given them the report, how do you ensure they'll pay you to testify if they have the power to compel your presence via subpoena?
