I am sure that the number of FHA approved appraisers who are willing to accept their assignments just went down! As of December 2014 there were 78,800 actual appraisers. Of this number 89.4 percent held a certification (required by FHA). A total of 51% of appraisers are between the age of 51 and 65 with 11% being over 66 years old. I personally do not see this age group crawling around under houses or thru the attics. All of these new rules and procedures demanded by FHA will be received with just a yawn by most appraisers my age. Appraisers my age will most likely have a client base that will allow them to simply refuse FHA work. For many of us retirement is anytime we choose! If Fannie Mae, FHA, AMCs, etc. just keep this crap up a little longer they will be doing these appraisals by themselves!

HUD reo appraisers know all about this. “If it’s not on the list of items I can check, you can’t call it a repair condition.” Apparently if a separate unit MIL does not have a stove actually present, even though it may have a stove plug in, it’s not really an MIL. Who knew? When the bureaucrats demand more, the independent contractors charge more. FHA fees just went up.
