Bill Cobb Appraiser, of Greater Baton Rouge, recently attended the 7 hour continuing education "Common Appraisal Errors" taught by Appraiser and Educator, Melissa Bond of http://www.ceinstructor.com/.  I always highly recommend taking CE from Melissa because she's still a "boots on the ground Appraiser", unlike some CE Instructors who haven't appraised a home in well over 20 years.  And, several others told me that's the exact reason Melissa is their favorite instructor. This class was a review of: Focus on minimizing common errors noted by FHA, VA, USDA and Fannie MaeGSE (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) requirements for accuracy and accountabilityUSPAP compliancy (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) Review of Appraiser’s Certification4 Case Study BreakoutsTIPS FROM MY NOTES:...
