This comprehensive 8-hour Continuing Education course is tailored specifically for FHA, VA, and USDA Real Estate Appraisers with a focus on evaluating and inspecting homes with a rich history predating 1935.

The course delves deep into understanding potential repair requirements that can sway the appraisal process, including structural or foundation issues, key plumbing concerns, exposed electrical wiring, defunct HVAC systems, and potential cosmetic concerns like rotting wood or defective exterior doors. Furthermore, it hones your skills in recognizing special circumstances, such as turning an appraiser’s eye to replace or repair roofs, and addressing the presence of lead-based paint in homes constructed before 1978.

With a keen emphasis on FHA regulations, this course outlines common factors that could adversely impact an FHA appraisal. From significant structural problems and peeling paint to safety risks like exposed wiring, lack of smoke alarms, water-related concerns, and the presence of asbestos, this course ensures you are equipped to identify and correctly evaluate these issues for an FHA appraisal.
