The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will conduct a free appraisal training session in Boston on May 21. This training is intended primarily for appraisers and underwriters; however, other industry professionals may also benefit from attending, the FHA announced.
The session will be held at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Boston Regional Office at the Tip O’Neil Federal Building. The session will be from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
This free, half day, on-site training will cover FHA appraisal requirements, including appraisal protocols and updates to appraisal policy as outlined in the Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1. Discussions include policy changes and clarifications, and updates on other topics including: property acceptability; underwriting the appraisal; minimum property requirements; property defects; enhanced appraiser and underwriter responsibilities and requirements, programs and products (e.g., 203(k)); and much more.
Advance registration is required by May 15, 2019; seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. This training is being held in a government building. Be advised that the on-site security screening is similar to airport screening.
