What kind of "FHA" inspection are you doing? Is it for a manufactured home?

That depends on the type of inspection. I do a lot of "finals" that use the HUD/FHA form 92051. No real "inspection report" required.

Thats funny about FHA. People ask or Realtors ask about an FHA Inspection and I tell them that I am a state licensed home inspector and have to use the state mandated and formated form and no matter what type of FHA Inspector they were looking for they never seem to go to anyone else and have never been asked for a partiular form.

Here is a "VA Handbook" that I found as a guideline. Note:VA not necessarily HUD/FHA

The type that you have to be registered with HUD are the new construction and 203K. When agents ask for an FHA inspection, who knows what they are talking about. With the "real" HUD/FHA inspections you will be dealing with the lender or builder at first and not an agent.

My wife is a Realtor and she is selling a house and the client is getting a f.h.a. loan. she said the appraiser said he was going to do the Home Inspections and the appraisal all the same time, Is this normal to do the Inspectons and Appraisal by the same person . thanks.

Well if the **appeasers** actually looked at a home a little closer or referenced a home inspection report to come to a better value on the home then maybe the lenders would have a better understanding of the true value of a home instead of basing the value of an inflated sale from down the road.

Then maybe, just maybe we would not be in this predicament

Appraisers do a "Valuation Condition" report commonly called a VC report.

It's a mini-inspection.

See the form at the bottom of this PDF File link.

http://www.kirchmeyer.com/HUDManual.pdf

It is NOT a Home Inspection.

See the FHA "For your protection get a home inspection" form in the link above.

Also this one. http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudcl...s/92564-cn.pdf

Some realtors knowingly pass this VC off as a home inspection. Some do it unknowingly.
