I wrote a blog earlier this week about FHA appraisals and what a mortgage originator should expect from the FHA appraiser. I thought I was informative and had nothing to upset anybody in this appraisal blog.
I get an email this morning from a home inspector blasting me for writing about ruthless and unpredictable home inspectors. I mentioned this one time as a way many originators view the FHA Appraiser. Attempting to dismiss the myth, I wrote what can be expected on the observation part of the FHA Appraisal Report.
My blog was FHA Property Guidelines Are Not Understood by Many Mortgage Originators!
This poor gentleman believes I was smacking his profession and also apparently believes I was putting an appraisal observation in the same light as a home inspection. Two different scopes of work.

I was reading the article of yours where you were talking about an
appraisal inspection versus a ruthless and unpredictable home inspector. I
bet when you buy a home for yourself you find the toughest Home Inspector
you can find.
Oh yea the other name we are called is Deal Killers. My Realtors love their deal killer.
Why you may say? Because we keep both of
us out of court. If your of the assumption, an appraisal and home
inspection are anywhere similar, then go with a Licensed Professional Home
Inspector that knows what he or she is talking about and try to learn
something.
Oh Yea that cheesy looking website of yours, you can't read the
text on the button links. Spend a little money and hire a webmaster.

Why the hate? I made one statement in the third paragraph that I did not think warranted this reaction.
