Changing FHA Number

[B1trying]

Did a FHA appraisal a month ago and this morning get a request to change the FHA #. I have had this before. I can't think of reason why this would be necessary and whether I should change it or not. If they are required to get the FHA # before they order the appraisal how can they change one after they get the appraisal?

Called HUD and they said the new FHA # was issued after the effective date. I would need to do another appraisal with a new effective date. Reinspect and new pics of comps. Sent a message to this effect to the lender.

Did they put that in writing? I am not so sure about that. I bet if you called them again you would get a different answer. Something sounds fishy. Get it in writing. If they say it is ok then do it their way. I would also note in the addendum the change of the FHA case #. Put the old one in the addendum to CYA.

Agree....CYA.

And why would you need to take new comp pics? Assuming you're using the same ones.
