I’m starting to wonder if you can be considered an intelligent human if you can’t figure out that Donald Trump is a crook with all the data on him that’s out there. It’s not like it’s hidden or anything. And it goes back almost 50 years.
I think for a significant number of Trump supporters it’s not that they can’t see that he’s a terrible excuse for a human being, and more that they don’t care for any number of reasons that are often outlined here.
Possibly they were, yes. It depends on how they were able to justify the comps used versus the bank appraisers. Now, did your appraiser overvalue the house by as much as 70%, as Trump reportedly did with some of his assets? If so, then I would say there likely is a good argument to be made that your appraiser was guilty of fraud.
That is a pretty big gap for residential home appraisals. I’m not sure about UT, but in my area of MO appraisers have a gap identifier they have to be within compared to other appraisals, or else they are flagged for review, including potentially criminal review. 40% is way outside of that gap identifier threshold. Someone was definitely wrong in your situation. But it is good that it seemed to have worked itself out for you.
The gap was mostly because there were no comparable sales. My grandmothers property was unique (Banks appraisers and our appraiser set the value of the building the same, there was a difference of opinion on how much the land was worth) in that it was an odd lot that had been that way since the town was founded. That with it’s location in the town and some other factors that dealt with a certain regulation the town had.
Ah…okay. Yeah, that makes more sense. It would probably file under an exception according to our regulations here. Some properties just don’t have anything comparable to them and are completely unique.
Now when it comes to business property, there can be all sorts of disagreements on how to value the intagibles like “good will”. If more than one property is being appraised and there is a difference of opinion on multiple properties (it wasn’t a single property being appraised, but Trumps net worth . . . . all of his assets including what his Name would be worth).
So yes there could be a huge difference in appraisals.
While personal and commercial goodwill are in fact intangible in commercial real estate appraisals, they generally do not add more than a few points in favor of valuation. Certainly not a 70% overvaluation.
Many appraisers have had their hands slapped, fined, or even lost their licenses due to overvaluing goodwill. Some have even gone to prison for their role in fraud schemes.
And yes, it is true they were evaluating his overall net worth and multiple assets/liabilities, I still don’t think you are going to be able to get around the bank fraud laws by claiming goodwill ignorance.
I’m still waiting for you to back this statement up with the transcript and the associated quotes from her, in context. You keep making this claim as if you know it to be true. Share this truth with the rest of us please.
