FHA Appraisers……….
Some will be happy and some won’t be that HUD/FHA is delaying the implementation of Mortgage Letter 2009-29………which means that MB’s/LO’s can STILL order FHA assignments directly from you through Feb. 14.
It also means that you may not be able to squeeze a few more greenbacks out of some clients for ‘customary and reasonable’ fees until 2/15 that you could have charged any ‘agent’ for a lender if the order was placed that way…assuming of course you’re brave enough to charge what you’re worth for these assignments, and not just take what’s offered!
They are also delaying the implementation of the 1004D Form to 2/15/10.
HUD/FHA announcement below:
Delayed Implementation Date for New Requirements in ML 2009-28
Enactment of ML 2009-28, Appraiser Independence, will be delayed until February 15, 2010. ML09-28 (originally planned for a January 1, 2010 implementation) has two parts: a) prohibition of mortgage brokers and commission-based lender staff from the appraisal process, and b) appraiser selection in FHA Connection. The effective date for both sections of this guidance will now take effect for all case numbers assigned on or after February 15, 2010. This extension will provide FHA and lenders additional time to adjust systems to accommodate the changes.
Detailed instructions on changes to FHA Connection will be issued in a new mortgagee letter. However, lenders should be aware that the requirement for inputting the appraiser ID and the appraisal assignment date in the FHA Connection case number assignment screen will be removed. Instead, lenders will be required to enter all appraisal data, including the appraiser ID, in the Appraisal Update Screen once the completed appraisal is received by the lender and prior to closing the loan.
Delayed Implementation Date for ML 2009-51
ML 2009-51, Adoption of the Appraisal Update and/or Completion Report (the 1004D Form) , states an effective date of January 1, 2010. The effective date is being extended and will now apply to all case numbers assigned on or after February 15, 2010. This extension will provide additional time needed by FHA and lenders to adjust their systems to accommodate use of the form.
