Because of HUD raising the loan limits for conforming loans, I have been innundated with appraisal requests for FHA loans.  I am a FHA appraiser but have not done that many appraisals for FHA loans.  On Friday, I am attending a class in Las Vegas (about four hours from home) to learn more about appraising for FHA loans.  I am so excited because there will actually be five representatives from HUD to answer questions and train appraisers.  I also can't wait to get back and report more on what I learned as I am sure that many appraisers are getting requests and not knowing exactly how to do the appraisals correctly.  I do know that you do not need the VC form any longer and all that is needed to appraise an SFR is the Fannie Mae 1004.  More information to come.
