The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will conduct a free appraisal training session in Philadelphia on Nov. 15. This training is targeted primarily to appraisers and underwriters; however, other industry professionals including loan professionals, loan officers and property inspectors may also benefit from attending, the FHA announced.
The session will be conducted in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Philadelphia regional office (The Wanamaker Building) from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. Check-in begins 30 minutes before the start of the session.
This free, half-day, on-site training will cover FHA appraisal requirements, including appraisal protocol and updates to FHA appraisal policy as outlined in FHA’s Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1. Discussions include policy changes and clarifications and updates on other topics including: property acceptability criteria; 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 November 6; seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registrants must include their email address. To register, go to http://www.huf.gov/emarc/index.cfm?fuseaction=emar.registerEvent&eventld=3734&update=N
