Toney, I know what you are talking about. At the Ending of 08 FHA made everyone wanting to do FHA backed loans to go through their class for 350.00 to make sure of your code knowledge.It was a 40 hr class with a test that had to be passed with a 80 or above. Learning as well how to fill out their NSR 52580 form. I recently lost an inspection where the FHA Appraiser did the inspection as well. I do not know why the lending inst. are changing everthing in the middle of the game. It does leave alot of liability on the table. Appraiser do not carrier the required insurance, and by law are not qualified to perform inspections. This could land an appraiser loosing everthing he or she owns in one mistake. I had recently read a artical of the verything happened in Mississippi. To the tune of $750.000 settlement. The court rulings stated that the appraiser was operating out of he area of training and the he knew nothing about building codes. I would like to publish your artical on my Atlantainspectionnews.com Blog with your permission. InspectorHolmes
