Appraisal Requirements:
No appraisal is required.

If the borrower, at its option, chooses to obtain an appraisal, then:- The borrower must order the appraisal from an appraiser selected by the borrower (and not one recommended by Lender), and the appraisal must be paid for by the borrower outside of the loan transaction
- Lender must not request a copy of the appraisal, but if one is provided by the borrower then it must be included in the loan file with a note that the appraisal was ordered by the borrower outside of the loan transaction and was not reviewed or approved by the Lender
- The property value shown on the appraisal will not impact the LTV calculation
- Lender must inform the borrower that the purpose of the borrower-ordered appraisal and its contents are for the use and information of the borrower only, and will not be considered for purposes of the loan transaction
