I've always been a fan of the Ford v. Chevy debates.There are more important issues to debate than this.

BTW, Fords suck!

Exactly! REALLY important topics like this...I've always been a fan of the Ford v. Chevy debates.

It is not my scenario the appraiser isn't - that is the premise of the OP post, the appraiser is providing only an opinion of market rent .
But you agree that the borrower will use some method of their own choosing to associate rent to the overall value, and they are basing it on the opinion of rent $ in the appraisal. The UW for lender might do their own rent to value analysis using the rent $ value opinion we provide .
So, our opinion of rent matters to a decision-
Personally I would not worry about it , sign and date it and be doneThe property that I am providing an opinion of market rent on is:
1) Not the subject of the loan.
2) Is already rented and I have the rental agreement.
3) The opinion of market rent is only being used to substantiate that the present amount of the rent is consistent with the market rents in the area.
4) This property’s income (rent) is being used to determine the credit worthiness of the borrowers for another purchase in another state.
5) Therefore, we are not determining the market value of the property I am doing a 1007 on. It is only being used to make sure that the cash flow is there for the ability to purchase another property.

Regardless of the above list of uses, you are still opining a market rent-see what Danny Wiley posted - If an appraiser offers an opinion of a $ value amount , it is an appraisal -The property that I am providing an opinion of market rent on is:

In General it's an Appraisal - Danny Is Correct BUT there is no certification form on a Stand Alone 1007 or a 2016 Operating income statement. Your only requirement is to have a Work File.I agree. I actually have it all figured out. So I’m good to go. Sending the report in Monday.![]()
There may be a follow up question to your answer.See AO-21. An opinion of market rent is an opinion of the value to use and occupy space for a specified period. In short, it is an appraisal. Hence, when you communicate it you need an appraisal report that complies with the applicable requirements in STD 2. There are several threads here with suggestions on how to do that
