Residential Real Estate Appraiser Secrets - Fha Now Taking On Line Applications For Appraisers
On May 5, 2008 the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) through Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is launching an online appraiser application process that will replace the existing process of sending paper applications through the mail. This process may make the process of applying to become a FHA Roster appraiser much easier and faster.
Information on their website states that the cut off date for accepting paper applications is April 22, 2008 and that appraisers should wait until after the May 5th date to avoid the possibility of their application not being accepted. If applications were mailed any time prior to April 22nd, appraisers should not reapply and are encouraged to wait the eight to twelve week processing time, although the process should be faster after the implementation of the new system.
