Reviewing & Underwriting Residential Appraisal Reports for Lenders (7 hours On-site, Updated 4 or 7-hour On-site Coming Soon)
Especially written for the lending community, this seminar will assist the "intended user" of appraisal reports in understanding residential appraisal reports and more importantly, spot inconsistencies. After attending this seminar, underwriters and loan professionals will be able to distinguish between small mistakes that do no impact the value conclusion and "red flags" that could severely impact the loan collateralization. Because the new Fannie Mae URAR form is the most commonly used appraisal report, this program will also focus on a line-by-line discussion of the form.
