Kind of reminds me of the time I had a older appraiser tell me he had been in the business for 40 years. At that time I just laughed because I was a old timer not so much in age but started in 1978 while in college. Secondary mortgage lending today means the institution has no insured depositors. If you are a credit union and have the public's savings or checking deposits (insured accounts) you are no longer a secondary or private lender. That does not preclude the credit union from holding a loan in their private portfolio but they are also under the new lending laws and it's a whole new game especially in the next 24 months. Lot's of appraisals for credit unions are for equity lines and that's another story but for full 1004 appraisals I don't think you are going to find many in 2015 taking Non-Uad appraisals because they are no longer secondary lenders. As far as how long you have been an appraiser that is a mute point. Myself and others on this forum have been in the business for over 30 years but working in QA or review for insured institutions gives the appraiser a better and more complete picture of whats coming down the road. There is nothing to worry about either way the appraiser does his job and the form the report is completed on is really a non-issue.
