Scenario is a FHA report conditioned because of pre-1978 chipped & peeling paint, and a broken interior window-bar safety release mechanism.
There are specific remedies and procedures to remedy these issues, and the MB wants to know specifically how his client should respond.
Should the appraiser serve as a repair consultant of sorts to help avoid slapstick work that won't pass the subsequent inspection; or does this pose liability beyond the SOW?
I imagine that some might say it's a "business decision" rather than an "appraisal decision," but several threads have indicated that the appraiser shouldn't communicate with anybody but the D.E.U.
This might appear to be a frivolous question but it's one that arises on a daily basis. Thanks.
