Program Description:
The valuation process in real estate loans is one of the areas targeted as partly responsible for the current subprime mortgage mess. As a result, there have been several developments in the regulatory process that lenders must be aware of. Independence of the appraisal process is critically important, plus Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have entered into agreements with the New York AG’s Office, putting a jump on new regulation. Do you know the requirements? This webinar will address all these developments, plus provide a sound basis in the history and current state of appraisal regulatory requirements.
This two-hour course covers:
- General appraisal regulations and requirements
- Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines of both 1994 and 2003, including Q&As
- “Readdressed appraisals” – how to manage this
- USPAP Statement 10 on Appraisal Standards – how does this influence lending?
- Potential regulatory developments – “Appraisal Fairness” standards
- Independence of the appraisal function – how to achieve this
- The NY AG agreements – how these will impact your operations
- USPAP Scope of Work and Advisory Opinions
Plus frequent question and answer sessions throughout this presentation.
