Reverse Mortgage Appraisal and Appraisal Management
General
Reverse Mortgages or Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (Reverse Mortgages, a.k.a. HECM) allows a borrower aged 62 and older to borrow against the equity in a property that has limited outstanding debt. The subject property under this program must be an existing one-to four-unit dwelling in which the mortgagor occupies one of the units. It may be a condo if it is in a FHA approved project or it may be a manufactured home if the home complies with outstanding FHA guidelines for manufactured homes.
Appraisal & Conditions
The appraiser must perform the appraisal with the same standards and forms expected in an FHA single-family appraisal. This includes noting the same deficiencies and repair items. In certain instances, the borrower is not required to treat any defective paint surfaces after closing for properties built before 1978.
Please see: HUD Handbook 4235.1, Rev-1, Section 3 for requirements of appraisal and property.
