There are no required appraisals on existing no cash out just rate and term refinancing on most Fannie/Freddie FHA and VA products. Those have kinda like built in waivers. Therefore the next refinance boom won't give appraisers the volume of past refinance booms. Also the use of other non full 1004 is available on low cash out product's.You can't staff enough for a refi boom. When that happens they will taste it and be hated by the lending industry. Then by the time they hire up.. the boom is over.
It will all be inspections only for a small fee and AI will do the valuation. This is all just the uncomfortable transition which will be rapid.
