					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Federal Housing Finance Agency&#8217;s (FHFA) recent push to expand the use of appraisal waivers represents a concerning and potentially disastrous gambit that threatens to undermine the integrity of the housing market and the broader economy as a whole.&#160; The recent announcement from the FHFA Deputy Director Naa Awaa Tagoe regarding the expansion of appraisal waiver eligibility for purchase loans is a significant development that has sparked debate and controversy within the mortgage industry. By increasing the maximum allowable loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for full appraisal waivers from 80% to 90%, and for inspection-based appraisal waivers from 80% to 97%, the&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Fannie Mae Property Data Collectors program seems to have run afoul of West Virginia law. This program allows for the collection of data related to real estate appraisals by unlicensed third-party data collectors, which is in direct violation of article 38 of the state&#8217;s Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act. The act specifically states that only a casual or drive-by inspection can be performed when it comes to consumer loans secured by real estate, and no opinion can be rendered as to its value nor any fee charged for such an inspection.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>No DTI CAPS &#8211; What could go wrong? Well, the insanity continues. HousingWire is reporting that a coalition of lenders and trade groups are calling on the CFPB to eliminate the debt to income cap on all qualified mortgages. Yes, you read that right. Lenders want to eliminate the debt to income cap to allow more loans to be originated. They claim by using alternative factors to determine risks, more low income borrowers can obtain a mortgage. Mortgage Bankers Association President and CEO Robert Broeksmit stated: With respect to the 43% DTI threshold, it makes little sense to commit to a rigid requirement&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Are the profits being reported by Fannie and Freddie being skewed because of price fixing? In an article released on CNBC by Reuters, US District Judge Jed Rakoff ruled investors can pursue antitrust claims against banks for conspiring to fix prices of bonds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to the article, there are transcripts of chat room discussions that prove a conspiracy to price fix mortgage backed bonds from Fannie and Freddie between January 2009 and January 2016. Rakoff wrote. The chats unmistakably show traders, acting on behalf of those defendants, agreeing to fix prices at a specific level before&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Yet another third party huckster has entered into the real estate appraiser and appraisal arena. It’s that time again! Yet another third party huckster has entered into the real estate appraiser and appraisal arena. Apparently motivated by pure altruism. We identified a need in the marketplace to address a common problem that lenders are regularly challenged with in providing accurate appraisal quotes and then ensuring pricing on the Loan Estimate is consistent and compliant,&#8221; stated Vladimir Bien-Aime, president and CEO at Global DMS. (I LOVE this guy, he writes like me!) Global DMS Launches SnapVal to Provide Instant, Accurate, Guaranteed&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Most of these items cannot be &#8216;seen&#8217; by Artificial Intelligence models or Big Data&#8230; Appraisers, The article below in Mortgage News Daily e-newsletter on July 3, 2018, got me to pound my noggin&#8230; for a couple of seconds at least. Actually, I think I need to do it again! Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ‘Big Data’ have been buzz words (and activity) for several years. And based on evidence in this article, lots of research and development leading to incorporation of AI is being done. While the article does not mention it directly, both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have instituted&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>As many of you know Fannie Mae (along with Freddie Mac) has launched an initiative which they label &#8220;modernizing appraisals&#8221;. This initiative consists of two distinct facets: 1) &#8220;modernizing&#8221;, or redesigning the forms which are utilized and 2) &#8220;modernizing&#8221; the processes involved in producing a valuation including the inspection process, data collection, etc., up to the delivery of the completed report. In the pursuit of this goal Fannie Mae has pledged to leverage stakeholder input, and of course appraiser input is both valuable and critical in this regard. In gathering stakeholder input Fannie Mae reached out to VaCAP, and invited&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>We are most certainly being heard&#8230; Do not get quiet, ever again&#8230; As a matter of fact, get louder! Colleagues, As Appraisers we have witnessed a lot of changes, some good, some not so good. However, it is undeniable we are most certainly being heard. On state and national levels we are a relatively new voice. Do not get quiet, ever again. As a matter of fact, get louder! We have watched as AMCs have gained stronger and louder voices. However, they are now wary of us as Appraisers as never before. We stand toe to toe with them, and please never forget that truth&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;“a race to the bottom” between the two companies in pushing for more appraisal-free loans Ken Harney, a friend of the appraisal community has written an article about Fannie and Freddie waiving appraisals. The article will be seen by consumers throughout the country. VaCAP encourages everyone reading this to share Ken&#8217;s article on all your social media outlets, your websites, blogs, etc.  See the article here. For homeowners and buyers, appraisal-free loans have offered an unexpected windfall: relief from having to pay between $400 and $600 for the service&#8230; Fannie’s and Freddie’s no-appraisal option has been popular with lenders&#8230; The&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

There have been lots of discussions lately concerning property inspection waivers, waivers of appraisals in rural areas, and allowing appraisers to complete Evaluations outside of USPAP standards. Doesn’t this all sound familiar? It should, we have already lived it 30 some years ago, prior to FIRREA. Back then Savings and Loans had staff appraisers to complete appraisals. The appraisal was not completed by a licensed appraiser, because licensing to protect the public did not exist. Today Community Banks want to bypass appraisals in rural area. Their&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

Over the past several weeks, members of the Network (NSAO), which has now grown to 28 state organizations, have been recapping the events that transpired at the meetings in Washington D.C. last month. These meetings consisted of the FHFA meeting, the NSAO meeting, the ASC meeting, and the AARO conference.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Tax payers should not be LIE-ABLE for the actions of greedy bad players! Michael Simmons, Principal and founding Director of AXIS Appraisal Management Solutions, a national AMC had an article published in Appraisal Buzz titled  “What If?&#8221; on October 2, 2017. The article, which I believe was intended to spark interest and membership in the Collateral Risk Network (CRN), is an epic failure. Thank you Appraisal Buzz for shedding some light on the garbage being discussed at a CRN meeting! Of course no independent appraiser even remotely gives any credibility to this group. We all know who and what they are.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks back, VaCAP asked appraisers to start a conversation with agents and brokers about the ACE &#38; PIW Waiver Programs being used for purchases. This is an opportunity for appraisers to gain more non lender work. As it turns out, appraisers are not the only ones that are concerned about these program. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) sent a letter Director Melvin Watts of the Federal Housing Finance Agency expressing concerns over the use of these programs. Specifically siting lack of transparency on how the use of these programs will ensure a safe and sound housing market.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>
