FAQs for Appraisers
Effective October 1, 2008, FHA will accept new applications only from state-certified appraisers. No new applications will be accepted from state-licensed appraisers as a result of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, signed July 30, 2008. FHA will issue a mortgagee letter in the next couple of weeks that will address additional requirements mandated by the new law.
AS OF 10/1/2008 ONLY CERTIFIED APPRAISERS ARE ALLOWED TO APPLY TO PERFORM FHA APPRAISALS.....
