New Real Estate Appraisal Thresholds (3 Action Steps & chart)
Collectively, the FRB, FDIC and the OCC adopted a final rule effective April 9, 2018, (83 FR 15019 - 15036) creating a new definition of, and a separate category for, commercial real estate (CRE) transactions. As a result, banks must now consider three general real estate transaction value (loan amount) thresholds ($250,000, $500,000 and $1 million) when deciding if a real estate appraisal or an evaluation is required. We have also included a chart to assist you in understanding the general valuation requirements.
Compliance Notes
In the Editor's Opinion
Frivolous and Irrelevant - Ouch!

Yet sometimes, you run across provisions that seem as out of place as a bull in a china shop.
