In the context of the VA system, does the numbering system, specifically the Lender Appraisal Processing Program (LAPP) number, cover the entire jurisdiction of the Regional Loan Center (RLC)? Taking the VA Atlanta RLC as an example, which includes Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, is there a single LAPP number that encompasses the entire RLC, or is it broken down by county or state? Additionally, could you provide information on the current count of appraisers on the Atlanta VA panel?

Furthermore, is it still possible to obtain a breakdown of the number of VA appraisals by state, as was available in the past? If so, where can one access this information?
 
Question : Could you provide information on the current count of appraisers on the Atlanta VA panel?

Answer: I would contact your RLC for that information but as a lender we and our SARS could not get how many appraisers were in our RLC which Covered multiple States. We had no idea how many appraisers were covering what cities, counties or other areas. We had been told it was not public information. But that was 5 years ago and maybe it's changed. I do know I would not trust info given on a forum as being accurate. :) LOL
 
Where have all the VA appraisers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the VA appraisers gone? Death, Retirement, Walmart Greeters, etc

The last numbers by Counties were from 2017, with 740,381 Total loans. 380,429 Purchase, 190,913 IRRL, and 169,039 Cash-Out. I wonder what it was for 2023? A third?

Makes you wonder why there is no transparency at the VA.:shrug:

A better way is to see how many VA Loans - % have been done in your area.
 
Still a VA appraiser myself.

I don't come here very often anymore. I was "scolded" by admin on here for speaking my mind about someone on here. That was about 2 years ago. Been back maybe 2 or 3 times since.
