@creative51 aaaarrgh out of area comp photos aaaargh!!! When im doing complex rural out of area the comps can literally all be in different cities/townships. I havent done appraisals since 2012. although im a Realtor now and still do comps and price the market frequently. Because I specialized in those rural complex and out of area reports, I had lots of pictures of some of the oddball comps that ended up being used in numerous reports, or I had actually appraised them so just end up using the subject pic, cha-ching! Fees here are the same or lower for in town reports because most appraisers only do intown, so more competition. The out of town rural complex, id routinely charge 1k, 1200 or 1500 for those reports and theyd happily pay after no one else would even consider doing it. I made a major killing with those. Ive thought about going back to appraising, but after 4 years away here, they make you start over at intern. I had a few offers, just didnt at the time. 275$ fulls. I did a few when I started. I get it. You have to find your niche.

SCal replies on Dec 18, 2018:

@creative51 Im not sure what your client list looks like, but I specialized in rural, acreage, review, retro review and out of the area appraisals. I appraised all of southern Nevada, the bottom four counties. I made a killing doing reviews, retro reviews and out of area reports. The fact that noone else wanted to leave the Las Vegas market got me on a lot of lists. Doing acreage and rural is real appraising and not cookie cutter. So in my view it just makes you a higher caliber researcher and appraiser. Everything is a complex report for the most part. So because of that they gave me a lot of stuff that seemed difficult to others, but was just the norm for me. You might want to ask for companies you work withs review and retro review work. Could be more of what youre looking for.

SCal replies on Dec 18, 2018:

@creative51 Of course! Because everyone always knows more than the appraiser. I mean, what does the appraiser know? All they do is evaluate values, look at markets and reconcile that information into reports all day, all night. What city and state are you in, and hows the work flow there?

@creative51 I was an appraiser from 1999 to 2012. We were saying that the market appreciation was unsustainable, and that the market would, "correct". I dont think many saw what eventually happened, and to that degree. 2008 to 2012 were the greatest of times if you were prepared and saw that coming.

SCal replies on Dec 18, 2018:

@greyeyed123 That first one was a great story, and very interesting as well. We all rearrange and edit our thoughts. There are tons of heuristics that have tons more cognitive biases. Our brains are sneaky little devils! I recall reading articles and watching lectures on how the brain stores memory connections in sort of a branch form. Each memory branch is like a word document on your computer. If you do not use the file branch, or build connected memories directly off of it, you can just lose connection to that file branch. Also, like a word doc, once that file branch is accessed by your conscious thinking mind, that file branch can be edited (even old information as you previously recalled it) and then resaved as the edited version. Our memories are not necessarily fixed. We have a conscious mind that we do tasks with and direct thinking as we are awake. Our subconscious mind, on the other hand, has many subsets for storing information, and controls all other areas of thinking, reaction and physical functions that we do not really think about or control: blinking, dreaming, breathing, flight or fight, immune, digestive, heart beats, deciphering from all of the senses, and the release of certain chemicals into the blood stream. As our senses collect tons of information, our subconscious and conscious mind are using lots of tricks on our waking mind to more easily deal with constant stimuli it must react to as it is interpreted by our mind. It's really true that for the most part we do not think; thinking happens to us.

SCal replies on Dec 17, 2018:

It is well known that our brains play all sorts of tricks on us. These are commonly called heuristics. Some heuristics which best characterize what you describe are called: False memory, Misattribution of memory, Self-Consistency bias, Hindsight bias, Telescoping effect and Outcome bias. These heuristics are subsets of what are called cognitive biases. The three primary cognitive biases are categorized as: Information bias, selection bias and confounding. Specifically, the heuristics I mentioned for the story you gave are subsets of three primary cognitive biases. 1) We project our current mindset and assumptions onto the past and future. 2) We edit and reinforce some memories after the fact. 3) We are drawn to details that confirm our own existing beliefs. Whether or not you do these things purposely; they are a result of the fact that we as humans really don't do much thinking in comparison to the amount of thinking that happens to us subconsciously. I have a list of heuristics and cognitive biases if anyone is interested in seeing some of the many ways our brains cheat and plays tricks on us. Just inbox me your email address and I will email them to anyone interested. They are truly fascinating.

@Petter Africans would be among those disproportionately affected by religion and poverty. We are speaking about a specific group. Not singling out. You are attempting to move the goal post and in doing so, are off point.

Cgosling comments on May 9, 2018:

So far, It looks like you may be the only person of color. You had interesting comments about religiosity in persons of color, but I think that might be more related to education and prosperity than to skin color. I think you are correct in thinking that strong religious beliefs promot conflict ...

SCal replies on Nov 26, 2018:

There is a correlation between skin color, level of wealth and education and religiosity. I do not think she is saying that people with darkly pigmented skin are somehow more predisposed to lower intelligence, and thus being religious. She seems to be saying that there simply are more per capita, with all actual factors taken into account. Africans and African Americans identify as religious; specifically and predominately christian. Many of the arguments here to the contrary seem to be pointing to causation, and not actuality.

SCal replies on Nov 26, 2018:

Africans and people in poverty are sort of synonymous, are they not? There are many affluent, african american zealots as well. Affluence does not necessarily have anything to do with intelligence in the scientific sense, anyhow. So I will have to disagree here.

@JustKip Well, that has not been my experience thus far. The problem im seeing is that there are not many women. The women that are openly godless, so thats great! I do appreciate the ones that are here, though. As far as intelligence goes, it seems that a lot of the female atheist/agnostic community just replaces the god in the sky for the god called government. They become statetheists and think the govt can fix everything, when govt actually fixes nothing. At least theyre half way there.
