20e. To be completed by HUD appraiser applicants only:
HUD published in the Code of Federal Regulations (24 CFR 200.202(b)) a set of eligibility requirements for appraisers seeking placement on
the FHA Appraiser Roster. Among other requirements, the regulation stipulates that, in order to be placed on the FHA Appraiser Roster, an
appraiser must pass a HUD test on FHA appraisal methods and reporting.
Appraisers can check on the Department’s website, under FHA Approved Appraisers, at https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/apprlook.cfm, to verify
placement on the FHA Appraiser Roster. Appraisers will not receive a registration confirmation if approved. However, HUD will send a denial
letter to appraisers whose applications are determined not eligible, indicating that the appraiser did not meet one or more of the requirements.
The following ten (10) questions have been selected to meet the requirements of 24 CFR 200.202(b)(2). Please provide concise responses to
the test questions. Please type or print the responses.

FHA APPRAISER TEST QUESTIONS
1) What steps should an appraiser take when the property he/she is appraising is vacant and the utilities are off?

2) Describe some typical conditions that would necessitate further inspection or testing by qualified individuals or entities?

3) What is expected of an FHA Roster Appraiser when checking a property’s plumbing system?

4) Properties constructed before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. What is expected of an FHA Roster Appraiser when
appraising such properties?

5) To be eligible for FHA Title II Financing, list at least three criteria that a manufactured housing unit must meet.

6) Describe how an appraiser should verify comparable sales data.

7) What steps must an appraiser follow when there are sales or financing concessions involved with one or more of their
comparable sales?
