FHA Appraising—Principles and Procedures

FHA Appraising—Principles and Procedures, Guide to the Complete FHA Appraiser takes a different approach to learning FHA concepts and protocols. And yes, it is distinct and different from the classroom version, FHA Appraising for Valuation Professionals: FHA Single Family Housing Appraisal Requirements, as well as FHA seminars and publications offered by other providers. This online seminar provides coverage of FHA issues in a manner that would be difficult to replicate in a typical classroom presentation.

 

FHA Appraising—Principles and Procedures addresses the tough questions that others often sidestep. It explains what Handbook 4000.1 is really saying when FHA requires you to do certain things. The material was developed after extended discussions with HUD staff in Washington, DC, to ensure proper understanding of the guidance provided to appraisers. The seminar offers additional insight and practical advice on how to apply FHA’s protocols in real-world appraising. We think you will like this approach.

FHA Appraising—Principles and Procedures is designed for appraisers who are new to FHA as well as seasoned FHA Roster appraisers. This is also the seminar to take if you are under sanctions from HUD for remedial education specific to FHA appraising. To appraise for FHA, you need to know and understand FHA principles and procedures. That’s the focus and purpose of this online seminar. It is the guide to becoming the complete FHA appraiser.
