Geez, no posts in a year? I hope that somebody still checks in here once in a while! I'm reeling from the fact that after turning down a rural FHA 1004 sent by an unsolicited AMC for 310.00 and sending them the ala mode survey showing 400.00 to be typical, it was immediately reassigned. This can only mean that there's someone out there doing FHA work for less than the published C&R for a land appraisal. Has anyone ever reported these fees to the state board for violating the C&R mandate of the DF? If so did they care?
The state board is not enforcing C&R fees. The Federal Reserve board does

The gate keepers to our customary and reasonable fees appear to either be bankers or affliated with the Clinton administration. Interesting.
