Common Myths, Misconceptions and Questions regarding FHA Appraisal Guidelines

This presentation will address FHA guidelines regarding Appraisal Reporting requirements in an effort to clear up common misconceptions of these guidelines by the industry participants, including Loan Officers, Loan Production staff, Appraisal Management Companies, Loan Processors, Underwriters and Appraisers. Many of the examples have come from questions submitted through the FHA Resource Center. The presentation will follow an outline beginning with an understanding of the specific Intended Use in an FHA Appraisal Assignment and how this Use helps to define and understand the various roles in Mortgage Processing. The presentation will include instructions on how to navigate the online version of the HUD 4000.1 handbook for easy reference. The presentation will allow ample time for Q & A on these specific topics as well as an open forum Q & A.
