Here are Regs taken directly for the state of Louisiana AMC law.  I would like Virginia to adopt the same.  Plus No Bank or Lender should be allowed to have any ownership interest in any AMC.  Also banks and lenders should never be allowed to have staff appraisers; staff reviewers are ok, but never again should they have staff appraisers.  Still there is a conflict of interest.
