Appraisal Required for Commercial Loans - 07/08/15 09:50 PM
I understand that the Appraisal Notice and a copy of an appraisal is required if the loan is to a business secured by the owners home or a rental house, the question that is coming up is if the notice and a copy of the appraisal is required if the loan is to build a 1-4 dwelling or to "develop" an area. Currently we make a loan to a builder secured by the lot and house to be built, it is one loan and one piece of collateral. The customer may have one loan or several loans at one time. Each loan is secured by the dwelling being built, nothing is crossed collateralized. Is this customer exempt from Reg B appraisal disclosure or should they receive the disclosure and a copy of the appraisal?
