  • Inclusion of interior photographs in the appraisal report B4-1.2-06
  • Lender changes to the appraised value and guidance on addressing appraisal deficiencies B4-1.4-21
  • Appraiser selection criteria B4-1.1-03
  • Sources of comparable market data B4-1.4-16
  • Selection of comparable sales
  • Communication under the HVCC
  • Seller concessions
  • Treatment of personal property
  • Market Conditions Addendum to the Appraisal Report (Form 1004MC)
