In today's episode, Bryan Reynolds sits down with Bill Waltenbaugh, Chief Appraiser at Nationwide Appraisal Network (NAN), about something that's been a hot topic for a while now in the appraisal space: short-term rentals. How do you appraise them? What do the lenders expect? What do the AMCs expect? Does anyone expect the same thing?Bill shares his wealth of knowledge on this topic, walks us through NAN's resources for appraisers, and talks about what the future of appraising STRs will look like. Don't miss this insightful conversation. 

AI startup Emergent is closing in on a $200 million funding round backed by investors including Amazon, Creaegis and Ranjan Pai's Claypond Capital, potentially valuing the company at $1.5 billion. We also look at how Groww and Zerodha's mutual fund businesses are scaling rapidly, why Pune's alleged fake IT jobs scam is drawing calls for an SIT probe, and AirTrunk's plans to invest $30 billion in India's AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030. Tune in for the biggest developments shaping India's startup, fintech, AI and technology ecosystem.

Most people are not victims of the economy. They are victims of the lives and businesses they built with no margin. In this episode, Blaine makes the case that uncertainty does not usually create fragility. It reveals it. Whether it is rising oil prices, conflict in the Middle East, inflation, slow appraisal volume, higher costs, technology disruption, or pressure from lenders and AMCs, the lesson is the same: weak systems get exposed when pressure rises. Blaine breaks down the different kinds of margin every appraiser and business owner should be building, including financial margin, pricing margin, client margin, non lender margin, time margin, emotional margin, physical margin, skill margin, reputation margin, relational margin, asset margin, inflation margin, and spiritual margin. This is not about fear. It is about preparation. A real business should be able to take a punch. It should have reserves, relationships, reputation, pricing power, and options. For appraisers, that means building beyond lender dependency and creating a stronger moat through private work, authority, content, better clients, and diversified revenue sources. If one bad month, one lost client, one market shift, or one unexpected expense can wreck your business, this episode is a wakeup call. The crisis did not break you. It revealed where you had no margin.

My guest today is Evan J. Schwartz, the COO of AMCS Group North America, a global leader in sustainable cloud technology. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor and Board Advisor at Jacksonville University, mentoring graduate students in AI, cybersecurity, and technical project management.Evan traces his technology origin from early-1980s bulletin board systems to founding a company that built graphic multiplayer BBS games and a scripted graphics language, that he says predated HTML, reaching 33 titles across a global BBS market before the internet rapidly displaced it around 1995. He then shifted from internet gaming into business software, automating insurance workflows and later working in commodity and “reverse logistics” industries including forestry, natural gas, and waste/recycling at AMCS, citing route optimization across 770,000 trucks that saves 17–20 gallons of diesel per truck. He discusses why ERP adoption is hard, advocating game-design-style gradual introduction, putting people first, and having product teams do end-user jobs. He emphasizes vendor relationships over feature requests, AI governance and risk frameworks, a “person + AI” stewardship model, and evolving education/career paths toward broad skills, clear communication, domain knowledge, and knowing what “good” looks like.The timestamps are approximate and do not include the time for the intro.

Academic medical centers (AMCs) sit at the heart of U.S. healthcare, driving scientific discovery, providing crucial clinical care, and training the next generation of clinicians. They also face mounting financial pressures and a shifting policy landscape that threatens their ability to sustainably deliver on this tripartite mission. And their complex structures make rapid business model transformation tough — at a time when it has become essential for survival. In this episode, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board expert Wes Campbell to provide an update on how AMCs are doing amidst the current climate, unpack how and why policy shifts hit AMCs differently than their non-academic peers, and discuss what it will take for AMCs to adapt.

Let's stop lying to ourselves. You don't have a pricing problem. You have a belief problem. Most appraisers are operating inside a set of invisible rules they never questioned. What you charge, how fast you work, what you tolerate from clients, all of it is based on a mental box you didn't build and never tested. And it's costing you money, time, and freedom. In this episode, Blaine breaks down why your "market" isn't the issue and why someone in a worse market is already charging more, working less, and building a better business than you. This is about the Overton Window of your business. The range of what you believe is acceptable and why it's way too small. No fluff. No excuses. If you're still blaming AMCs, competition, or your location, this episode is going to hit you right between the eyes. The only thing holding your business back is the line you refuse to cross. So the question is simple: Are you going to keep playing inside it… or finally move it?

Drawing on more than three decades of experience, Malinda shares how she entered the industry, how the profession has changed over time, and why building a strong professional network is essential for long-term success. The discussion explores major industry shifts—from the rise of AMCs and new technology to the upcoming UAD/URAR 3.6 changes—while emphasizing why human judgment will always remain at the heart of valuation. Malinda also highlights opportunities beyond traditional lending work, including probate, divorce, and tax appeal assignments, and offers practical advice for appraisers looking to grow their careers while staying adaptable in a changing profession.

In this episode, I chat with investor Clay Dumas of Lowercarbon Capital about the growing use of “advance market commitments” (AMCs). We discuss how this simple idea — a group of buyers commits to purchasing a set amount of a product if it can be produced — can derisk investment and jumpstart innovation in the climate economy's toughest sectors. Clay explains what makes for a well-designed AMC and how it can accelerate the path to commercialization for everything from carbon removal to green steel. This is a public episode.

H1: UAD 3.6: Blessing or Bother? A Practical Guide for Residential Appraisers Rollout begins September 8, 2025. Whether UAD 3.6 is a blessing or a bother depends on your practice focus. If you live on the GSE side of the house, mastering the nuances is unavoidable—and worth your time.

Vendors, lenders, and AMCs are learning too; we'll cover realistic expectations for staggered adoption so you can keep cash flow steady and clients confident. What you'll learn What UAD 3.6 actually changes (dynamic report, structured data, packaging) Who really needs it now (GSE work) vs. where it's less urgent (non-GSE assignments) Transition pains to expect (software readiness, lender/AMC ramp-up) How to protect your practice (flag awareness, workflows, templates, client education) Professional guardrails—keep ethics first, maintain E&O, and know when to call counsel Need a hand?

Consumerism is impacting all health systems but does this mean the same thing in the same way to academic medical centers, urban hospitals, and rural health systems? Reed Smith and Chris Boyer unpack the growing tension between what patients want and what different types of health systems are built to deliver.

In a recent article in WorkingRE Magazine, Isaac Peck shared some movement in the realm of pushing to get the fees for appraisers and AMCs separated on the TRID. Isaac joins Dustin to talk about The Great Debate on Appraisal Fees.

A hill to die on.  That sounds way too serious for a real estate appraisal podcast, right?  These are supposed to be about USPAP, and education, and more practical stuff.  But I've been studying on this topic for some time.  Frankly, what AMCs do (or don't do) does not bother me as much as it does some appraisers.  Those appraisers complain that AMCs do not distinguish between their gross fees and the proration of that fee that goes to the appraiser.  That's true.  But when you buy a car, the dealer does not make transparent the contributory cost of the spark plugs and drive shaft, either. And the fees the AMCs pay are not, in my opinion, a hill to die on, at least not right now.  That time is coming - soon.  So, unless the AMC withholds some pertinent information from the appraiser, or somehow misrepresents the situation, then the appraiser sets the fee by accepting it.  But there is a hill to die on when it comes to AMCs.  And that hill is USPAP, of which all AMCs, you'd think, would be aware.  But while the GSEs are pushing appraisal waivers, it also seems AMCs are stressing appraisers to accept lower fees for the same quantity of work, all to sustain the AMCs' fee structure.  Remember, the AMC can ask the appraiser anything it wants to ask.  If, however, that request includes a knowledgeable request to violate USPAP, then it is time the appraiser should fire that AMC and get a new client. Today, right now, get out of AMC work and into private work.  I'll be happy to consult with you on that.  And make sure your E&O insurance is as relevant as possible.  It will help to have expert legal counsel in your phone's directory, too!

Today on the Power House podcast, we are bringing you a special sponsored conversation between Zeb Lowe, the director of HousingWire's Content Studio, and Andrew Bough, the COO at Class Valuation. Andrew is joining us today to share how Class Valuation is setting new quality standards for appraisals through approaches such as their appraiser scorecard system and creating specialty panels for unique property types. He also talks about tackling industry challenges like an aging workforce and regulatory changes, and how they're shaping the market with their Appraisal Diversity Initiative. Here's what you'll learn: Class Valuation's scale allows for consistent quality in appraisals. Choosing the lowest-paid appraisers is a common misconception about AMCs. Performance scorecards help appraisers improve their services. Creating specialty panels enhances the quality of appraisals for specific, niche needs. The appraisal industry, like many other facets of the housing ecosystem, is undergoing significant change. Diversity initiatives and embracing new technology are essential for the future of appraisals.

In this episode, Blaine shares some insights into developing the mindset that nobody is coming to save you from an industry in the midst of massive change. If your life and business is to be successful and fulfilling, it will always be up to you to make it happen. Since you cannot control the interest rates, the FED policy, the elections, the politicians, the AMCs, the lenders and agents, or any of the external factors that affect the appraisal industry, it is up to each individual to manage their mental and emotional state, as well as their business.  Ready to take your appraisal business to the next level?

"You can't charge what something is worth during a pandemic. So we estimated that the value of one course of COVID vaccine in January 2021 was over $5,000. They were selling for between $6 and $40. So nothing like their social value. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think that they should have charged $5,000 or $6,000. That's not ethical. It's also not economically efficient, because they didn't cost $5,000 at the marginal cost. So you actually want low price, getting out to lots of people."But it shows you that the market is not going to reward people who do the investment in preparation for a pandemic — because when a pandemic hits, they're not going to get the reward in line with the social value. They may even have to charge less than they would in a non-pandemic time. So prepping for a pandemic is not an efficient market strategy if I'm a firm, but it's a very efficient strategy for society, and so we've got to bridge that gap." —Rachel GlennersterIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Rachel Glennerster — associate professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a pioneer in the field of development economics — about how her team's new Market Shaping Accelerator aims to leverage market forces to drive innovations that can solve pressing world problems.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:How market failures and misaligned incentives stifle critical innovations for social goods like pandemic preparedness, climate change interventions, and vaccine development.How “pull mechanisms” like advance market commitments (AMCs) can help overcome these challenges — including concrete examples like how one AMC led to speeding up the development of three vaccines which saved around 700,000 lives in low-income countries.The challenges in designing effective pull mechanisms, from design to implementation.Why it's important to tie innovation incentives to real-world impact and uptake, not just the invention of a new technology.The massive benefits of accelerating vaccine development, in some cases, even if it's only by a few days or weeks.The case for a $6 billion advance market commitment to spur work on a universal COVID-19 vaccine.The shortlist of ideas from the Market Shaping Accelerator's recent Innovation Challenge that use pull mechanisms to address market failures around improving indoor air quality, repurposing generic drugs for alternative uses, and developing eco-friendly air conditioners for a warming planet.“Best Buys” and “Bad Buys” for improving education systems in low- and middle-income countries, based on evidence from over 400 studies.Lessons from Rachel's career at the forefront of global development, and how insights from economics can drive transformative change.And much more.Chapters:The Market Shaping Accelerator (00:03:33)Pull mechanisms for innovation (00:13:10)Accelerating the pneumococcal and COVID vaccines (00:19:05)Advance market commitments (00:41:46)Is this uncertainty hard for funders to plan around?

According to the website Love is Respect, 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse from someone they are in a relationship with. These are alarming statistics. In this episode we define what an abusive relationship is. How can parents know if their teens is an abusive relationship and what are the warning signs. And most importantly how can parents talk to their teens and protect them against the abuse or being the abuser. I brought in another family therapist to discuss this important subject. Our guest today is Eden Garcia-Balis, M.S. LMFT who was appointed Chief Executive Officer for Airport Marina Counseling Service (AMCS) in 2014. She has been in the mental health field for over 19 years with experience in leadership and management of service programs, business operations and fundraising. In addition, she was the Executive Director of the Pasadena Mental Health Center. Eden has a passion for working with the underprivileged and underserved and believes all people regardless of their socioeconomic status deserve quality mental health services they can afford. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and brings a strong clinical background to her position at AMCS. I asked Eden why a third of all U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they are in relationship with. I mean that's really high. "It's very high. It's alarming and I'm often asked, why is that statistic so high? When you look at what our children are listening to, when you look at what our children, our youth, our teens are seeing on TV, they don't know what a healthy relationship looks like. Some of the questions we dive into are... 1.  Why do you think there has been rise in domestic violence among teens and why do you think it is more common than ever? 2. What are some of the warning signs parents or guardians should look for if they suspect their teen may be in violent or unhealthy relationship? 3. What are some of the ways parents can talk to their kids about dating violence and when is the right time to have this conversation? 4. What advice would you give teens who are in a relationship with a partner that is exhibiting violent, controlling or unhealthy behaviors? 5. What advice would you give parents who suspect, or know, their child is in an unhealthy relationship?

In this special episode, Leigh Brown delves into the world of real estate property data collectors, discussing their role, potential risks, and implications for consumers and professionals in the industry. The episode highlights the rise of appraisal management companies (AMCs) and automated valuation models (AVMs) and how they came into effect after the housing crisis. Learn the concerns about the new program introduced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which involves sending unlicensed and unregulated data collectors into homes to gather information for the banks. The lack of oversight and potential biases are problematic, as they could lead to inaccurate valuations and manipulation of property values. The episode emphasizes the importance of certified appraisers and the need for regulatory oversight in professional services.    To learn more about this complex and crucial topic, listen to this episode and then jump to last week's interview with Peter Gallo, Owner/Chief Appraiser at HOMESIGHT APPRAISAL, as he shared his personal encounter when he questioned a tech company representative regarding regulatory compliance.   Key takeaways to listen for Understanding the role of AMCs and AVMs The risks of allowing unlicensed data collectors into your home The potential impact on the real estate market The importance of advocating for the role of certified appraisers   Resources mentioned in this episode 411 - What Makes Appraisers an Irreplaceable Role in Real Estate with Peter Gallo   Connect with Leigh Please subscribe to this podcast on iTunes or the Podcasts App on your phone, and never miss a beat from Leigh by visiting https://leighbrown.com.
