The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) implemented new appraisal rules yesterday. Mortgagee Letter 2009-28 focuses on appraiser independence and Mortgagee Letter 2009-51 focuses on the Appraisal Update and/or Completion Report. As AppraisalInsight reported, the rules were originally to be implemented on January 1, 2010.
Lenders will secure a case number assignment in FHA
Connection via the Case Number Assignment Screen but will not input the
appraiser information. The Case Number Assignment Screen will no longer
capture the assignment choice, license ID and assignment date. Instead,
lenders will be required to enter all appraisal data, including the
appraiser ID, in the Appraisal Logging Screen once the completed appraisal
is received by the lender and prior to closing the loan.
