As the culmination of a project that took over one year to complete, FHA has released the Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, also known as Handbook 4000.1. This Handbook is designed to consolidate FHA requirements into one single authoritative source, instead of having requirements scattered throughout several different handbooks and mortgagee letters. Effective September 14, 2015, Handbook 4000.1 is the “go-to” handbook for appraisers and lenders, and FHA appraisers need to become familiar with its requirements. After the mortgage meltdown of 2006-2009, FHA insured loans have made a comeback, and now have a significant share of the 1 to 4 family residential lending market. This seminar focuses on the new FHA Handbook 4000.1 with emphasis on revisions to FHA appraisal requirements and protocols. In addition, students will learn how to effectively stay up-to-date with FHA requirements.
For appraisers seeking placement on the FHA Appraiser Roster, this detailed seminar is essential. For the current FHA roster appraiser, it will provide useful insight and tips.

As a practicing appraisal professional, are you aware of the importance of keeping accurate, highly-detailed workfiles for your transactions? If your workfile comes under examination, every “i” must be dotted and “t” crossed in order to avoid trouble. In fact, one of the most common disciplinary actions taken by licensing boards is the result of insufficient support in the workfile. Therefore, having a sound workfile not only keeps you compliant with USPAP, it also encourages a high level of public trust in your work as an appraisal professional. Want to learn more about the ways a top notch work file can protect your appraisal practice? Your instructor will provide you with an in-depth analysis of the RECORD KEEPING RULE and the SCOPE OF WORK RULE as the basis for helping to establish what information is necessary to ensure the appraiser produces credible assignment results. In addition, your instructor will cover Fannie Mae’s 1004 report form and on a page and section basis, identify the areas which are the least supported by file documentation, and the ways that the same information can be used to supported several different analyses in the workfile.

This course applies the appraisal process, used in all appraisals, to an apartment property assignment. To the extent possible, the routine tasks associated with appraising all types of properties are played down, allowing time to focus on the tasks unique to appraising apartment properties. This course identifies the attributes of an apartment complex and its associated three markets. The three markets include: 1) the market for vacant sites, i.e., buyers and sellers of competitive sites; 2) the rental market, i.e., landlords and renters of competitive units; and 3) the market for apartment properties, i.e., buyers and sellers of competitive apartment properties.
Emphasis is placed on honing the appraiser's skills that are necessary to successfully meet the unique challenges of appraising apartments, specifically how to produce a credible appraisal. While the skills learned in this course will be applicable to a variety of apartment properties, it is geared towards small apartment complexes of 5 to 20 units.

HUD’s Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, also known as Handbook 4000.1 was released several years ago, yet many appraisers still struggle with minimum property requirements (MPR) for existing houses. As the title suggests, this 4-hour course focuses on minimum property requirements, specifically why these requirements exist and what the requirements are for location, site, and improvements. The course materials include many photographs and examples of actual property deficiencies encountered by appraisers.
For current FHA roster appraisers, this course will provide a refresher of the requirements, along with examples of how they apply in real-life appraisal situations. The course was designed and written by Daniel A. Bradley, SRA, CDEI.

Live Webinar: The Appraisal of Special Industrial Property (Non-Credit)
Wed Jun 1911:00 am to 12:00 pm EDT
This professional development webinar will examine appraisal theory and practice issues that arise in the context of the appraisal of special industrial properties and that are less common in the appraisal of general commercial real property. In addition to having relatively high values, sometimes into the billions, special industrial properties frequently involve dramatic changes in value in short periods of time. Further they often involve combinations of assets, such as real property, personal property and business intangibles. As a consequence, relatively minor changes in appraisal theories and practices will result in major changes in value indications.

Federal Appraisal is a real estate and business appraisal company, serving national and international clients with complex assets and issues. Mr. Pomykacz has been appraising for 33 years and specializes in the appraisal of complex issues, including commercial real estate and businesses, for legal and accounting purposes.

As the culmination of a project that took over one year to complete, FHA has released the Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, also known as Handbook 4000.1. This Handbook is designed to consolidate FHA requirements into one single authoritative source, instead of having requirements scattered throughout several different handbooks and mortgagee letters. Effective September 14, 2015, Handbook 4000.1 is the “go-to” handbook for appraisers and lenders, and FHA appraisers need to become familiar with its requirements. After the mortgage meltdown of 2006-2009, FHA insured loans have made a comeback, and now have a significant share of the 1 to 4 family residential lending market. This seminar focuses on the new FHA Handbook 4000.1 with emphasis on revisions to FHA appraisal requirements and protocols. In addition, students will learn how to effectively stay up-to-date with FHA requirements.
For appraisers seeking placement on the FHA Appraiser Roster, this detailed seminar is essential. For the current FHA roster appraiser, it will provide useful insight and tips.

As a practicing appraisal professional, are you aware of the importance of keeping accurate, highly-detailed workfiles for your transactions? If your workfile comes under examination, every “i” must be dotted and “t” crossed in order to avoid trouble. In fact, one of the most common disciplinary actions taken by licensing boards is the result of insufficient support in the workfile. Therefore, having a sound workfile not only keeps you compliant with USPAP, it also encourages a high level of public trust in your work as an appraisal professional. Want to learn more about the ways a top notch work file can protect your appraisal practice? Your instructor will provide you with an in-depth analysis of the RECORD KEEPING RULE and the SCOPE OF WORK RULE as the basis for helping to establish what information is necessary to ensure the appraiser produces credible assignment results. In addition, your instructor will cover Fannie Mae’s 1004 report form and on a page and section basis, identify the areas which are the least supported by file documentation, and the ways that the same information can be used to supported several different analyses in the workfile.
