My associate and I are working towards getting on the FHA roster. We have appraised only for conventional lenders for over 15 years. It appears everything we need to know is in appendix D. What are the differences we will find between conventional and FHA appraising? Thank you very much.

The letters below can be googled. These letters rewrite several parts of the 4150.2. This book was written in 1996 and some changes have been made without altering the original document, however supplemental letters were used. :)

Hud 2005-34
Hud 2005-48
Hud 2007-11

In the 4150.2, I would say the inspection list and the warnings about conduct are the most important. These requirments exceed typical conventional expectations. These still stand strong.
