Yes, a monkey can do it....but the top of the form which is filled out for either an appraisal update or certification of completion, requires the value of the original report.... this is divulging confidential information from client A to client B.you cannot change client on the original appraisal, but a 1004d for condition/repair request, not an update of value request, is not an appraisal. you can have a different lender/client requesting it, a monkey can do it. 1004d can have different clients, but 1004d value update requires an appraiser but still can be a different client, new assignment. it happens a lot with reverse mortgages where the owner is given a year to do repairs, and by then it's the servicing company asking for it. the term 'appraisal' was redefined years ago by USPAP, it is only applied to anything that requires any value number, or a description of any number/numbers.
I suppose you can try to do a scoot around by leaving that blank also, I'm uncertain if the effective date of the original appraisal is confidential information. Someone else has to chime in on that one...
