I just received an appraisal order for a USDA loan. It is my understanding that this is pretty much like an FHA appraisal. So far, no problem. The property is new and is not 100% completed. For ex. it has the floor padding in the bedrooms but no carpet, the interior doors are on the premises-but not hung, missing face plates, etc. Oh, and the only running water I can find is in the kitchen. How do I handle this? I'm stressing out because the builder is does large amounts around town and this is the first time he's let me do an appraisal for him. I want to do a good job. Is there special forms in wintotal for USDA? What about the home not being completed? Oh, and let's not forget the water issue. Someone please help. This is due in 2 days; which is completely unheard of up here. (we usually have a 5-7 day turn around)
