That is not from either of the GSEs. The GSEs generate SSR reports, and those are provided to lenders, not appraisers. Again, that can be verified with simple Internet searches.
This is no different than the flags raised by running the E&O function in Total, or the "rules checker" function in other software programs. Many entities program these and they are not a direct connection to the GSE intake portal. Many of them are inadequate, as they cost money to perfect and some entities would rather appraisers just take whatever steps are necessary to work around their incomplete/inadequate/inaccurate programming. Clear Crapital is a classic example. UAD clear states that, in non-disclosure states, a blank in the "Price of Prior Sale/Transfer" is an acceptable entry. Clear Crapital had a program that would not pass the appraisal if that were blank, regardless of whether or not you knew the price was actually "0". The FHA portal is the same. You cannot deliver a report with a blank in that field because they haven't completed their program to comply with all UAD requirements and definitions.
Because different users have different needs and risk tolerances.
Trickery, I tell ya, just plain trickery....Because different users have different needs and risk tolerances.
Nope not mercury
It remains that a report cannot be uploaded using standard appraisal software with a trainee signature. I challenge you to try it yourself with standard appraisal software.
lol. Ok.
Why do you think mercury?
