Valuation

Should borrowers be charged AMC fees and appraiser fees separately? 

The appraisers I speak to paint the AMCs as part of some large conspiracy to nickel-and-dime their way to big profits. The AMCs I speak to believe they are vital to maintaining the arms-length regulatory requirements set forth by Dodd-Frank. Are the AMCs hiding something? Maybe, maybe not. But, there is certainly something missing.
