This session dives into the challenges lenders, AMCs, and appraisers are experiencing as they transition to UAD 3.6, and how to turn the new standardized data structure into an advantage. Speakers will address practical onboarding issues—training, system integration, workflow redesign—and provide insight into where lenders are getting stuck and how they’re resolving it. Beyond compliance, the conversation will highlight how UAD 3.6 unlocks richer analytics for property insights, risk assessment, QC, and long-term portfolio intelligence, helping organizations use the new data model as a catalyst for operational and strategic growth.
